DescriptionNVD

A command injection vulnerability was discovered in the rpmuncompress utility of RPM. When extracting certain archive formats (ZIP, 7z, GEM) to a specified destination directory, the tool inserts the archive's top-level folder name into a shell command without properly sanitizing it. A specially crafted archive containing shell metacharacters in its folder name can execute arbitrary commands as the user running the extraction.

AnalysisAI

Command injection in the rpmuncompress utility of RPM allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands when a victim extracts a maliciously crafted ZIP, 7z, or GEM archive whose top-level folder name contains shell metacharacters. The flaw affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and downstream products including OpenShift Container Platform 4, Satellite 6, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Quarkus Native Builder. …
