Opensuse · Libsolv · CVE-2018-20534
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libsolv versions through 0.7.2
**Description**
The issue is related to errors in resource management, specifically in the `pool whatprovides` function of the libsolv library. It may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. However, it is noted that the issue may only affect the test suite and not the underlying library, and it cannot be exploited in any real-world application.
**Recommendations**
For libsolv versions through 0.7.2, consider updating to a version where this issue is resolved, if such a version exists. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `pool whatprovides` function until a patch is available.
