A flaw was found in rust-rpm-sequoia. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) file. During the RPM signature verification process, this crafted file can trigger an error in the OpenPGP signature parsing code, leading to an unconditional termination of the rpm process. This issue results in an application level denial of service, making the system unable to process RPM files for signature verification.

The remote Fedora 42 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-8df732be8a advisory.

    Update sequoia-openpgp to version 2.3.0.

    This includes three security relevant fixes (assigned CVE-2026-42783, CVE-2026-42784, and CVE-not-     assigned-yet), see Notable fixes in the release notes: <https://gitlab.com/sequoia-     pgp/sequoia/-/raw/openpgp/v2.3.0/openpgp/NEWS>

    This update includes rebuilds of all affected applications to pick up the fixes for these issues.
