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

This also fixes a vulnerability in cron, which is caused due to
insecure permissions set on certain files and an improper check of
hard links in database.c. This can be exploited to prevent the
processing of cron files by creating hard links to system or user
cron files. Another bug related to symlinks can be exploited by
malicious, local users to manipulate to crontabs of other users.
