Issue Overview:

Multiple flaws were found in the way the RPM library parsed package headers. An attacker could create a specially-crafted RPM package that, when queried or installed, would cause rpm to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-3378)

Affected Packages:

rpm

Issue Correction:
Run yum update rpm to update your system.
