CVE-2020-14352

A flaw was found in librepo. A directory traversal vulnerability was found where it failed to sanitize paths in remote repository metadata. An attacker controlling a remote repository may be able to copy files outside of the destination directory on the targeted system via path traversal. This flaw could potentially result in system compromise via the overwriting of critical system files. The highest threat from this flaw is to users that make use of untrusted third-party repositories.

Mitigation

Avoid downloading software from untrusted third-party mirrors. Note that under normal circumstances, this flaw does not pose any threat to Red Hat users, as repositories are fully trusted and controlled by Red Hat.
