NVD Description

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

The rpmpkgRead function in lib/package.c in RPM 4.10.x before 4.10.2 does not return an error code in certain situations involving an "unparseable signature," which allows remote attackers to bypass RPM signature checks via a crafted package.
