GHSA-2jc3-8rq8-7x2x PUBLISHED CVSS 7.800000190734863 HIGH

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 24, 2022

It was found that rpm did not properly handle RPM installations when a destination path was a symbolic link to a directory, possibly changing ownership and permissions of an arbitrary directory, and RPM files being placed in an arbitrary destination. An attacker, with write access to a directory in which a subdirectory will be installed, could redirect that directory to an arbitrary location and gain root privilege.
