CVE-2018-7685: libzypp does not reevaluate malicious rpms once downloaded
First published: Fri Aug 31 2018(Updated: )
The decoupled download and installation steps in libzypp before 17.5.0 could lead to a corrupted RPM being left in the cache, where a later call would not display the corrupted RPM warning and allow installation, a problem caused by malicious warnings only displayed during download.
