rust-rpm-sequoia can crash when verifying malicious RPM

published 8 months ago
Summary

The rust-rpm-sequoia library, used to check the signatures of Red Hat Package Manager files, can be forced to stop working if it processes a specially crafted RPM file. This causes the system to be unable to verify RPM signatures, effectively a denial of service. Update to a patched version of the library or avoid processing untrusted RPM files until the fix is applied.

What to do
  • Update echo rust-rpm-sequoia to version 1.8.0-2+e1.
