Description: SUSE has issued updates for multiple packages. These fix some vulnerabilities and a weakness, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions, to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially to compromise a user's system.
A boundary error in tiffsplit has also been fixed.
Note: The last issued security update for php4 (SUSE-SA:2006:031) broke functionality of some applications in array handling. Fixed packages are reportedly issued soon.
Solution: Apply updated packages.
Updated packages are available using YaST Online Update or via the SUSE FTP site.
