NVD Description

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

The installUpdates function in yum-cron/yum-cron.py in yum 3.4.3 and earlier does not properly check the return value of the sigCheckPkg function, which allows remote attackers to bypass the RMP package signing restriction via an unsigned package.
