+  <title>RPM: Buffer overflow</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    RPM is vulnerable to a buffer overflow and possibly the execution of
+    arbitrary code when opening specially crafted packages.
+  </synopsis>

+  <affected>
+    <package name="app-arch/rpm" auto="yes" arch="*">
+      <unaffected range="ge">4.4.6-r3</unaffected>
+      <vulnerable range="lt">4.4.6-r3</vulnerable>

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    The Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) is a command line driven package
+    management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying,
+    querying, and updating computer software packages.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Vladimir Mosgalin has reported that when processing certain packages,
+    RPM incorrectly allocates memory for the packages, possibly causing a
+    heap-based buffer overflow.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted RPM package
+    and execute code with the privileges of that user if certain locales
+    are set.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All RPM users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r3"</code>
