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.
RPM before 4.9.1.3 does not properly validate region tags, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid region tag in a package header to the (1) headerLoad, (2) rpmReadSignature, or (3) headerVerify function.
