CVE-2005-4889

Publication date 8 June 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

lib/fsm.c in RPM before 4.4.3 does not properly reset the metadata of an executable file during deletion of the file in an RPM package removal, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link to a vulnerable (1) setuid or (2) setgid file, a related issue to CVE-2010-2059.
