TITLE:
SUSE Update for Multiple Packages

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34259

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34259/

DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued an update for multiple packages. This fixes a
security issue and some vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by
malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges and by malicious
people to bypass certain security restrictions, disclose sensitive
information, cause a DoS (Denial of service), or compromise a
vulnerable system.

1) A SUSE specific patch for GTK2 caused GTK2 programs to search for
modules in untrusted search paths. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary code with privileges of the user running the affected
binaries by causing the binaries to load a malicious shared library.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via YaST Online Update or the SUSE FTP server.
