CVE-2012-0815

Publication date 3 April 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The headerVerifyInfo function in lib/header.c in RPM before 4.9.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a negative value in a region offset of a package header, which is not properly handled in a numeric range comparison.
