NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libzypp package and not the libzypp package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

In libzypp before August 2018 GPG keys attached to YUM repositories were not correctly pinned, allowing malicious repository mirrors to silently downgrade to unsigned repositories with potential malicious content.
