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

For more information:
SA26480
SA37977
SA40165
SA41158
SA41706
SA41724
SA42175
SA42396

1) A security issue is caused due to OpenJDK allowing untrusted
applications and applets to read system properties e.g. "user.name",
"user.home", and "java.home".

2) An error within Epiphany when indicating the status of HTTPS
connections can be exploited to e.g. conduct spoofing attacks.

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