CVE-2010-2197
Published: 8 June 2010
rpmbuild in RPM 4.8.0 and earlier does not properly parse the syntax of spec files, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to remove home directories via vectors involving a ;~ (semicolon tilde) sequence in a Name tag.
Notes
Author | Note |
---|---|
mdeslaur | rpm spec files can also trivially remove home directories. This isn't an issue worth fixing since it is assumed source rpms are verified before being used, either by using a signed package from a trusted source, or by carefully auditing the spec file. Downgrading to "negligible" and ignoring. |
