high Nessus Plugin ID 49265

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes the problem where RPM misses to clear the SUID/SGID bit of old files during package updates. (CVE-2010-2059)

Also following bugfixes were merged from SLE11 :

 - make 'rpmconfigcheck status' exit with 4 [bnc#592269]

 - do not use glibc for passwd/group lookups when --root is used [bnc#536256]

 - disable cpio md5 checking for repackaged rpms [bnc#572280]

 - Add rpm-4.4.2.3-no-order-rescan-limit.patch from upstream (bnc#552622)

 - backport lazy statfs patch [fate#302038]

 - define disttag as optional tag with macro just like disturl

- add popt-devel and rpm-devel to baselibs config (bnc#445037)

 - brp-symlink: whitelist kde4 doc path (bnc#457908)

- find-supplements.ksyms: Module aliases may contain special characters that rpm does not allow in dependencies, such as commas. Encode those as %XX to avoid generating broken dependencies (bnc#456695).

 - find-debuginfo.sh: Don't convert to binary.

Solution

Update the affected popt packages.
