How to fix?
Upgrade Centos:6 rpm to version 0:4.8.0-19.el6_2.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rpm package and not the rpm package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.
The headerLoad function in lib/header.c in RPM before 4.9.1.3 does not properly validate region tags, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large region size in a package header.
