Description:
SUSE has issued updates for multiple packages. These fix various vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions on a vulnerable system with escalated privileges, or to disclose certain sensitive information, and by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

For more information:
SA16866
SA17047

Some other vulnerabilities which may be SUSE specific have also been fixed:

1) An error in the restriction of USB devices in resmgr can be exploited by local desktop users to access arbitrary USB devices.

2) The problem is that insecure permissions and ownerships may be set for YaST package repositories.

3) A boundary error in the YaST package handling can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via specially crafted meta data.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

4) A configuration error in the powersave daemon can be exploited by local desktop users to control the powersafe daemon (e.g. suspend the system).

5) Insecure use of the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" variable in various applications has an unknown impact.
