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. For more information: SA23660 SA24444 SA24486 SA24528 SA24801 SA24886 SOLUTION: Apply updated packages. Updated packages are available via YaST Online Update or via the SUSE FTP site.
