deltarpm’s integration into DNF is poorly designed: deltarpms are processed before verifying any cryptographic signatures. That means that a vulnerability in deltarpm could allow for remote code execution as root. While I am not aware of any such vulnerabilities, I also do not have strong evidence that there are none. Therefore, disabling deltarpm is useful attack surface reduction. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)
