Recent Rpm Security Vulnerabilities

It was found that the fix for CVE-2017-7500 and CVE-2017-7501 was incomplete: the check was only implemented for the parent directory of the file to be created

CVE-2021-35939 6.7 - Medium - August 26, 2022

It was found that the fix for CVE-2017-7500 and CVE-2017-7501 was incomplete: the check was only implemented for the parent directory of the file to be created. A local unprivileged user who owns another ancestor directory could potentially use this flaw to gain root privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

insecure temporary file

A symbolic link issue was found in rpm

CVE-2021-35938 6.7 - Medium - August 25, 2022

A symbolic link issue was found in rpm. It occurs when rpm sets the desired permissions and credentials after installing a file. A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to exchange the original file with a symbolic link to a security-critical file and escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

insecure temporary file

A race condition vulnerability was found in rpm

CVE-2021-35937 6.4 - Medium - August 25, 2022

A race condition vulnerability was found in rpm. A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to bypass the checks that were introduced in response to CVE-2017-7500 and CVE-2017-7501, potentially gaining root privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

TOCTTOU

There is a flaw in RPM's signature functionality

CVE-2021-3521 4.7 - Medium - August 22, 2022

There is a flaw in RPM's signature functionality. OpenPGP subkeys are associated with a primary key via a "binding signature." RPM does not check the binding signature of subkeys prior to importing them. If an attacker is able to add or socially engineer another party to add a malicious subkey to a legitimate public key, RPM could wrongly trust a malicious signature. The greatest impact of this flaw is to data integrity. To exploit this flaw, an attacker must either compromise an RPM repository or convince an administrator to install an untrusted RPM or public key. It is strongly recommended to only use RPMs and public keys from trusted sources.

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

A flaw was found in libdnf's signature verification functionality in versions before 0.60.1

CVE-2021-3445 7.5 - High - May 19, 2021

A flaw was found in libdnf's signature verification functionality in versions before 0.60.1. This flaw allows an attacker to achieve code execution if they can alter the header information of an RPM package and then trick a user or system into installing it. The highest risk of this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

A flaw was found in the RPM package in the read functionality

CVE-2021-3421 5.5 - Medium - May 19, 2021

A flaw was found in the RPM package in the read functionality. This flaw allows an attacker who can convince a victim to install a seemingly verifiable package or compromise an RPM repository, to cause RPM database corruption. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity. This flaw affects RPM versions before 4.17.0-alpha.

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

A flaw was found in RPM's hdrblobInit() in lib/header.c

CVE-2021-20266 4.9 - Medium - April 30, 2021

A flaw was found in RPM's hdrblobInit() in lib/header.c. This flaw allows an attacker who can modify the rpmdb to cause an out-of-bounds read. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

Out-of-bounds Read

A flaw was found in RPM's signature check functionality when reading a package file

CVE-2021-20271 7 - High - March 26, 2021

A flaw was found in RPM's signature check functionality when reading a package file. This flaw allows an attacker who can convince a victim to install a seemingly verifiable package, whose signature header was modified, to cause RPM database corruption and execute code. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity, confidentiality, and system availability.

Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

A use-after-free flaw has been discovered in libcomps before version 0.1.10 in the way ObjMRTrees are merged

CVE-2019-3817 8.8 - High - March 27, 2019

A use-after-free flaw has been discovered in libcomps before version 0.1.10 in the way ObjMRTrees are merged. An attacker, who is able to make an application read a crafted comps XML file, may be able to crash the application or execute malicious code.

Dangling pointer

A directory traversal issue was found in reposync

CVE-2018-10897 8.1 - High - August 01, 2018

A directory traversal issue was found in reposync, a part of yum-utils, where reposync fails to sanitize paths in remote repository configuration files. If an attacker controls a repository, they may be able to copy files outside of the destination directory on the targeted system via path traversal. If reposync is running with heightened privileges on a targeted system, this flaw could potentially result in system compromise via the overwriting of critical system files. Version 1.1.31 and older are believed to be affected.

insecure temporary file

It was found that versions of rpm before 4.13.0.2 use temporary files with predictable names when installing an RPM

CVE-2017-7501 7.8 - High - November 22, 2017

It was found that versions of rpm before 4.13.0.2 use temporary files with predictable names when installing an RPM. An attacker with ability to write in a directory where files will be installed could create symbolic links to an arbitrary location and modify content, and possibly permissions to arbitrary files, which could be used for denial of service or possibly privilege escalation.

insecure temporary file

Integer overflow in RPM 4.12 and earlier

CVE-2014-8118 - December 16, 2014

Integer overflow in RPM 4.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted CPIO header in the payload section of an RPM file, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.

Numeric Errors

Race condition in RPM 4.11.1 and earlier

CVE-2013-6435 - December 16, 2014

Race condition in RPM 4.11.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPM file whose installation extracts the contents to temporary files before validating the signature, as demonstrated by installing a file in the /etc/cron.d directory.

Injection

The rpmpkgRead function in lib/package.c in RPM 4.10.x before 4.10.2 does not return an error code in certain situations involving an "unparseable signature," which

CVE-2012-6088 - January 18, 2013

The rpmpkgRead function in lib/package.c in RPM 4.10.x before 4.10.2 does not return an error code in certain situations involving an "unparseable signature," which allows remote attackers to bypass RPM signature checks via a crafted package.

Credentials Management Errors

RPM 4.4.x through 4.9.x, probably before 4.9.1.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an rpm package with crafted headers and offsets

CVE-2011-3378 - December 24, 2011

RPM 4.4.x through 4.9.x, probably before 4.9.1.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an rpm package with crafted headers and offsets that are not properly handled when a package is queried or installed, related to (1) the regionSwab function, (2) the headerLoad function, and (3) multiple functions in rpmio/rpmpgp.c.

Code Injection

lib/fsm.c in RPM 4.8.0 and unspecified 4.7.x and 4.6.x versions, and RPM before 4.4.3, does not properly reset the metadata of an executable file during replacement of the file in an RPM package upgrade, which might

CVE-2010-2059 - June 08, 2010

lib/fsm.c in RPM 4.8.0 and unspecified 4.7.x and 4.6.x versions, and RPM before 4.4.3, does not properly reset the metadata of an executable file during replacement of the file in an RPM package upgrade, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link to a vulnerable (1) setuid or (2) setgid file.
