[GLSA]

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory

Title: RPM: Multiple vulnerabilities (GLSA 201206-26)
Severity: high
Exploitable: local, remote
Date: June 24, 2012
Bug(s): #335880, #384967, #410949
ID: 201206-26

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in RPM, possibly allowing
local attackers to gain elevated privileges or remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code.


Background

The Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) is a command line driven package
management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying,
querying, and updating computer software packages.


Affected Packages

Package: app-arch/rpm
Vulnerable: < 4.9.1.3
Unaffected: >= 4.9.1.3
Architectures: All supported architectures


Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in RPM:

• fsm.c fails to properly strip setuid and setgid bits from executable
  files during a package upgrade (CVE-2010-2059).
  
• RPM does not properly parse spec files (CVE-2010-2197).
• fsm.c fails to properly strip POSIX file capabilities from executable
  files during a package upgrade or removal (CVE-2010-2198).
  
• fsm.c fails to properly strip POSIX ACLs from executable files during
  a package upgrade or removal (CVE-2010-2199).
  
• header.c does not properly parse region offsets in package files
  (CVE-2011-3378).
  
• RPM does not properly sanitize region tags in package headers
  (CVE-2012-0060).
  
• RPM does not properly sanitize region sizes in package headers
  (CVE-2012-0061).
  
• RPM does not properly sanitize region offsets in package
  headers(CVE-2012-0815).
  

Impact

A local attacker may be able to gain elevated privileges. Furthermore, a
remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted RPM
package, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.


Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All RPM users should upgrade to the latest version:
