This update for rpm fixes the following issues:

These security issues were fixed:

  • CVE-2017-7500: rpm did not properly handle RPM installations when a
    destination path was a symbolic link to a directory, possibly changing
    ownership and permissions of an arbitrary directory, and RPM files being
    placed in an arbitrary destination (bsc#943457).
  • CVE-2017-7501: rpm used temporary files with predictable names when
    installing an RPM. An attacker with ability to write in a directory
    where files will be installed could create symbolic links to an
    arbitrary location and modify content, and possibly permissions to
    arbitrary files, which could be used for denial of service or possibly
    privilege escalation (bsc#943457)

This non-security issue was fixed:

  • Use ksym-provides tool [bsc#1077692]
