Descriptions

It was found that rpm did not properly handle RPM installations when a destination path was a symbolic link to a directory, possibly changing ownership and permissions of an arbitrary directory, and RPM files being placed in an arbitrary destination. An attacker, with write access to a directory in which a subdirectory will be installed, could redirect that directory to an arbitrary location and gain root privilege.

Se ha detectado que rpm no manejaba correctamente las instalaciones RPM cuando una ruta de destino era un enlace simbólico a un directorio, posiblemente cambiando la propiedad y los permisos de un directorio arbitrario y los archivos RPM se colocaban en un destino arbitrario. Un atacante con acceso de escritura a un directorio en el que se instalará un subdirectorio podría redirigir ese directorio a una ubicación arbitraria y obtener privilegios root.
