Description:
SUSE has issued updates for multiple packages. This fixes a security issue and some vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges, malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service), and by malicious people to conduct spoofing and cross-site scripting attacks, cause a DoS, and compromise a vulnerable system.

Note: This also fixes a security issue in yast2-core, which is caused due to the application searching for modules in the current directory. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges by e.g. tricking another user to run yast2 in a directory containing specially crafted yast2 modules.
