rpm (SL5, SL6)

Synopsis: Important: rpm security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:1974-1
Issue Date: 2014-12-09
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-6435

It was found that RPM wrote file contents to the target installation
directory under a temporary name, and verified its cryptographic signature
only after the temporary file has been written completely. Under certain
conditions, the system interprets the unverified temporary file contents
and extracts commands from it. This could allow an attacker to modify
signed RPM files in such a way that they would execute code chosen by the
attacker during package installation. (CVE-2013-6435)

All running applications linked against the RPM library must be restarted
for this update to take effect.
