Description: SUSE has issued an update for multiple packages. This fixes some security issues and some vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to manipulate certain data, bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA30657 SA30963 SA30986 SA31108 1) The zypp-refresh-patches wrapper does not ask the user for permission before adding new repository keys.
