Descriptions

If supportutils before version 3.1-5.7.1 is run with -v to perform rpm verification and the attacker manages to manipulate the rpm listing (e.g. with CVE-2018-19638) he can execute arbitrary commands as root.

Si supportutils, en versiones anteriores a la 3.1-5.7.1, se ejecuta con -v para realizar una verificación rpm y si el atacante consigue manipular la entrada rpm (p.ej., con CVE-2018-19638), éste puede ejecutar comandos arbitrarios como root.
