NVD Description

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

RPM before 4.9.1.3 does not properly validate region tags, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid region tag in a package header to the (1) headerLoad, (2) rpmReadSignature, or (3) headerVerify function.
