Summary

rpm security update

Details

The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful package management system capability as below

Security Fix(es):

A flaw was found in rpmbuild. When rpmbuild processes a crafted tarball in tarball mode, a specially designed tar member name can lead to macro injection. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system by convincing a user to build a malicious tarball.(CVE-2026-78367)

CVE-2026-78367 (GCVE-0-2026-78367)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-24 13:48 – Updated: 2026-09-04 11:13

Title

Rpm: rpmbuild gettarspec() crafted tar member name → macro injection

Summary

A vulnerability was found in RPM's rpmbuild tarball processing. When processing a crafted source archive, the getTarSpec() function in tools/rpmbuild.cc passes an attacker-controlled tar archive member name to rpmExpand() as part of a %{basename:...} macro expression. A specially crafted .spec member name can therefore inject RPM macros, including Lua expressions, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running rpmbuild. This can be exploited when a victim or automated build system processes an attacker-controlled source tarball using rpmbuild tarball mode (such as -ts, -ta, or -tb).
