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 headerLoad function in lib/header.c in RPM before 4.9.1.3 does not properly validate region tags, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large region size in a package header.
