CVE-2018-7685: Opensuse Libzypp

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The decoupled download and installation steps in libzypp before 17.5.0 could lead to a corrupted RPM being left in the cache, where a later call would not display the corrupted RPM warning and allow installation, a problem caused by malicious warnings only displayed during download.

Affected products

• Opensuse Libzypp: before 17.5.0 (fixed in 17.5.0)
