DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued updates for multiple packages. This fixes multiple
security issues and vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by
malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive information,
gain escalated privileges, and compromise a user's system and by
malicious users to conduct script insertion and SQL injection
attacks, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), bypass certain security
restrictions, and compromise a vulnerable system and by malicious
people to conduct cross-site scripting, script insertion, cross-site
request forgery, and spoofing attacks, bypass certain security
restrictions, disclose potentially sensitive information, manipulate
certain data, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), compromise an
application using the library, potentially compromise a user's
system, and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) The SUSE Lifecycle Management Server application allows users to
perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any
validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to
perform unspecified actions if a logged-in user visits a malicious
web site.

2) A security issue exists in the pre-installed images of the WebYaST
appliance, which generates the same secret key used to create session
cookies.

3) A security issue exists in LXSession due to "lxsession-logout" not
properly locking the screen before suspending, hibernating, or
switching users and can be exploited to compromise a user's system.

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