Attack vector
UNKNOWN Attack complexity
UNKNOWN Privileges required
UNKNOWN Confidentiality impact
UNKNOWN Integrity impact

UNKNOWN Summary
Race condition in RPM 4.11.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPM file whose installation extracts the contents to temporary files before validating the signature, as demonstrated by installing a file in the /etc/cron.d directory.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Server Side Include (SSI) Injection An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
- Cross Site Scripting through Log Files An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
- Command Line Execution through SQL Injection An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.
- Subverting Environment Variable Values The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.

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).

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-2014-8118). last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 79996 published 2014-12-15 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2014-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/79996 title Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : rpm (MDVSA-2014:251) NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-201811-22.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201811-22 (RPM: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in RPM. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : A remote attacker, by enticing the user to process a specially crafted RPM file, could escalate privileges, execute arbitrary code, or cause a Denial of Service condition. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 119276 published 2018-11-29 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/119276 title GLSA-201811-22 : RPM: Multiple vulnerabilities NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DLA-140.NASL description Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in rpm : CVE-2014-8118 Fix integer overflow which allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. CVE-2013-6435 Prevent remote attackers from executing arbitrary code via crafted RPM files. CVE-2012-0815 Fix denial of service and possible code execution via negative value in region offset in crafted RPM files. CVE-2012-0060 and CVE-2012-0061 Prevent denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code execution via an invalid region tag in RPM files. We recommend that you upgrade your rpm packages. NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating software packages. Each software package consists of an archive of files along with information about the package such as its version, description, and other information. 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) This issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of Red Hat Product Security. All rpm users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All running applications linked against the RPM library must be restarted for this update to take effect. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 79849 published 2014-12-10 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2014-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/79849 title RHEL 5 / 6 : rpm (RHSA-2014:1974) NASL family Amazon Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ALA_ALAS-2014-458.NASL description It was found that RPM could encounter an integer overflow, leading to a stack-based overflow, while parsing a crafted CPIO header in the payload section of an RPM file.
