DESCRIPTION
 The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is the package management system used
 to distribute and install software by Conectiva Linux.
 
 zen-parse found[1] a vulnerability[2] in rpm wich allows an attacker
 to execute arbitrary code when an adultered rpm package is queried.
 
 A malicious user could exploit this vulnerability by sending a
 carefully crafted rpm package to the printing system, which will
 query the package to extract the information to print and will
 execute arbitrary code choosen by the attacker with the privileges of
 the lp user.
 
 Another situation is an administrator or any other user querying such
 a package to extract information (using rpm -qpi for example) and
 inadvertently executing arbitrary code from the attacker.


SOLUTION
 All users should upgrade. We would like to thank Jeff Johnson
 <[email protected]> for providing the patch to fix this vulnerability.
