Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2011-143 - Multiple flaws were found in the way the RPM library parsed package headers. An attacker could create a specially-crafted RPM package that, when queried or installed, would cause rpm to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. Additionally for Mandriva Linux 2009.0 and Mandriva Linux Enterprise Server 5 updated perl-URPM and lzma packages are being provided to support upgrading to Mandriva Linux 2011. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1349-01 - The RPM Package Manager is a command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating software packages. Multiple flaws were found in the way the RPM library parsed package headers. An attacker could create a specially-crafted RPM package that, when queried or installed, would cause rpm to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. Note: Although an RPM package can, by design, execute arbitrary code when installed, this issue would allow a specially-crafted RPM package to execute arbitrary code before its digital signature has been verified. Package downloads from the Red Hat Network remain secure due to certificate checks performed on the secure connection.
