NVD Description

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

The decoupled download and installation steps in libzypp before 17.5.0 could lead to a corrupted RPM being left in the cache, where a later call would not display the corrupted RPM warning and allow installation, a problem caused by malicious warnings only displayed during download.
