NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libzypp package and not the libzypp package as distributed by Debian.

A relative path traversal in the "keyhint" option in repomd.xml parsing of libzypp before 17.38.12 can be used by attackers able to supply a malicious repository to inject or overwrite files in the target system as root.
