How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 librepo to version 0:1.11.0-3.el8_2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream librepo package and not the librepo package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in librepo in versions before 1.12.1. A directory traversal vulnerability was found where it failed to sanitize paths in remote repository metadata. An attacker controlling a remote repository may be able to copy files outside of the destination directory on the targeted system via path traversal. This flaw could potentially result in system compromise via the overwriting of critical system files. The highest threat from this flaw is to users that make use of untrusted third-party repositories.
