CWE-310Published: October 28, 2013· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
4.3
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The RPM GPG key import and handling feature in libzypp 12.15.0 and earlier reports a different key fingerprint than the one used to sign a repository when multiple key blobs are used, which might allow remote attackers to trick users into believing that the repository was signed by a more-trustworthy key.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2013-3704 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
