A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:

RPM could incorrectly validate package signatures.

Software Description:

It was discovered that RPM incorrectly handled signature checking. An
attacker could create a specially-crafted rpm with an invalid signature
which could pass the signature validation check.

package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
  rpm                             4.10.0-4ubuntu0.1
