The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the way the package manager handles temporary files during extraction into a temp directory. A remote attacker can trick the victim into installing a specially crafted package and consume all available disk space, leading to a denial of service condition.
