librpm.so is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A local unauthenticated user who owns another ancestor directory is able to potentially gain root privileges of the system due to the lack of sanitizations in lib/fsm.c during symlink validations. This vulnerability exists due to incomplete fixes for CVE-2017-7500 and CVE-2017-7501.
