DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued an update for multiple packages. This fixes multiple
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
bypass certain security features, by malicious users to perform
certain actions with escalated privileges and bypass certain security
restrictions, and by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks,
bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS (Denial of
Service), and  potentially compromise a user's system.

NOTE: Additionally, a security issue exists in festival which
insecurely uses the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and can be
exploited to execute arbitrary code e.g. by tricking a user into
running festival_server.

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