GHSA-88cv-mj24-8w3q
arr-pm vulnerable to arbitrary shell execution when extracting or listing files contained in a malicious rpm.
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Arbitrary shell execution is possible when using RPM::File#files and RPM::File#extract if the RPM contains a malicious "payload compressor" field.
This vulnerability impacts the `extract` and `files` methods of the `RPM::File` class in the affected versions of this library.
### Patches
Version 0.0.12 is available with a fix for these issues.
### Workarounds
When using an affected version of this library (arr-pm), ensure any RPMs being processed contain valid/known payload compressor values. Such values include: gzip, bzip2, xz, zstd, and lzma.
You can check the payload compressor field in an rpm by using the rpm command line tool. For example:
```
% rpm -qp example-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm --qf "%{PAYLOADCOMPRESSOR}\n"
gzip
```
### Impact on known dependent projects
This library is used by [fpm](https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm). The vulnerability may impact fpm only when using the flag `-s rpm` or `--input-type rpm` to convert a malicious rpm to another format. It does not impact creating rpms.
