"A directory traversal issue was found in reposync, a part of
yum-utils, where reposync fails to sanitize paths in remote repository
configuration files. If an attacker controls a repository, they may be
able to copy files outside of the destination directory on the
targeted system via path traversal. If reposync is running with
heightened privileges on a targeted system, this flaw could
potentially result in system compromise via the overwriting of
critical system files. (CVE-2018-10897)");
