Descriptions

It was discovered that rpm-ostree and rpm-ostree-client before 2017.3 fail to properly check GPG signatures on packages when doing layering. Packages with unsigned or badly signed content could fail to be rejected as expected. This issue is partially mitigated on RHEL Atomic Host, where certificate pinning is used by default.

Se ha descubierto que rpm-ostree y rpm-ostree-client en versiones anteriores a la 2017.3 no comprueban correctamente las firmas GPG en los paquetes al crear las capas. Los paquetes con contenido sin firmar o mal firmado podrían no ser rechazados tal y como se esperaría. Este problema se mitiga parcialmente en RHEL Atomic Host, donde se utiliza la fijación de certificados por defecto.
