Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libzypp versions prior to 17.38.9-1.1

Description The PluginScript function attempts to use chroot to restrict the plugin to the repoManagerRoot. In standard configurations or when the --root option is used, this root is often set to / (the system root). When the chroot target is /, the operation has no effect, which allows a traversed path to execute host binaries, such as /bin/bash, with root privileges.

Recommendations Update to version 17.38.9-1.1.
