Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: RPM Package Manager version 4.0.4

Description: The default setting in RPM Package Manager can allow remote attackers to make a malicious package appear as if it comes from a trusted source. This occurs because the package's signature is checked for validity without verifying who signed it.

Recommendations: For RPM Package Manager version 4.0.4, consider changing the --checksig setting to verify the package signer in addition to checking the signature validity.
