CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 rpm to version 4.7.0-1 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 Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

lib/fsm.c in RPM before 4.4.3 does not properly reset the metadata of an executable file during deletion of the file in an RPM package removal, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link to a vulnerable (1) setuid or (2) setgid file, a related issue to CVE-2010-2059.
