Description:
SUSE has issued updates for multiple packages. These fix various vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges, and by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

Solution:
Apply updated packages.

Updated packages are available using YaST Online Update or via the SUSE FTP site.

NOTE: The vendor will not be issuing security patches to extend the sudo environment cleaning blacklist. Users are recommended to configure sudo to use "env_reset" to clean the entire environment.
