Description:
SUSE has issued an update for gpg / liby2util. This fixes a security issue, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
For more information:
SA18845
This e.g. affects the patch verification checker of YaST Online Update, which may cause it to pass malicious patch files as correct. Also, the YaST Online Update script signature verification uses a feature not included in gpg 1.4.x, resulting in it accepting arbitrary scripts as correct.
Successful exploitation requires the ability to either manipulate a YaST Online Update mirror or the network traffic.
