CVE-2011-3378

Published Dec 24, 2011 rpm CWE-94

Overview

CVE-2011-3378 is a known-severity vulnerability affecting rpm rpm. It was published on December 24, 2011.

Technical Description

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.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from rpm. Update rpm to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
