CVE-2002-2204

NameCVE-2002-2204
DescriptionThe default --checksig setting in RPM Package Manager 4.0.4 checks that a package's signature is valid without listing who signed it, which can allow remote attackers to make it appear that a malicious package comes from a trusted source.
SourceCVE (at NVD; CERT, LWN, oss-sec, fulldisc, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Gentoo, SUSE bugzilla/CVE, GitHub advisories/code/issues, web search, more)

Notes

verified with rpm 4.4.1, but this can hardly affect debian at
all since it requires rpm be configured to trust some key,
which in debian requires a manual and non-documented
initialization of the rpm database which is not configured in
the package
