AI-GeneratedA heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the RPM Package Manager allows local users to exploit specially crafted NDB database files, resulting in incorrect memory allocation. This flaw can lead to denial of service, rendering the system unavailable. Organizations using RPM should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate potential disruptions.
Original NVD Description
A flaw was found in the RPM Package Manager (RPM). A local user could be affected by a heap buffer overflow vulnerability when processing a specially crafted NDB database file. This issue arises from an error in how RPM handles certain calculations during file parsing, leading to an incorrect memory allocation. An attacker could leverage this to cause a denial of service, making the system unavailable.
