Solution
Please Install the Updated Packages.
Insight
Multiple flaws were found in the way the RPM library parsed package headers. An attacker could create a specially-crafted RPM package that, when queried or installed, would cause rpm to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2011-3378).
Additionally for Mandriva Linux 2009.0 and Mandriva Linux Enterprise Server 5 updated perl-URPM and lzma (xz v5) packages are being provided to support upgrading to Mandriva Linux 2011.
The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
