Rpm: rpm: integer overflow in iterreadarchivenext() leads to heap-based buffer overflow when parsing untrusted rpm packages

Published Sep 29, 2026 · Updated Nov 13, 2026 · Assigned by redhat

Description

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in rpm. Parsing a symlink entry in an untrusted RPM package whose declared RPMTAG_LONGFILESIZES value is 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF causes an integer overflow in iterReadArchiveNext() that shrinks a buffer allocation to one byte, after which the payload's independently-controlled cpio filesize field is used to write attacker-controlled data past the end of that allocation. This is reachable via rpm2cpio, rpm2archive, and rpm -qlvp on an untrusted package.
