ALSA-2021:2574 advisory.
- A flaw was found in RPM's signature check functionality when reading a package file. This flaw allows an
attacker who can convince a victim to install a seemingly verifiable package, whose signature header was
modified, to cause RPM database corruption and execute code. The highest threat from this vulnerability is
to data integrity, confidentiality, and system availability. (CVE-2021-20271)
