SUSE update for Multiple Packages

Secunia ID	SA38462
CVE-ID	CVE-2008-6123, CVE-2009-3297, CVE-2009-4035, CVE-2010-0295
Release Date	09 Feb 2010
Last Change	12 Feb 2010
Criticality	Highly Critical Typically used for remotely exploitable vulnerabilities that can lead to system compromise. Successful exploitation does not normally require any interaction but there are no known exploits available at the time of disclosure. Such vulnerabilities can exist in services like FTP, HTTP, and SMTP or in client systems like email programs or browsers.
Solution Status	Vendor Patch
Where	From remote "From remote" describes other vulnerabilities where the attack vector doesn't require access to the system or a local network. This category covers services that are acceptable to expose to the Internet (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP). It also covers client applications used on the Internet and certain vulnerabilities where it is reasonable to assume that a security conscious user can be tricked into performing certain actions.
Impact	DoS (Denial of Service) This includes vulnerabilities ranging from excessive resource consumption (e.g. causing a system to use a lot of memory) to crashing an application or an entire system. System access This covers vulnerabilities where malicious people are able to gain system access and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user. Exposure of sensitive information Vulnerabilities where documents or credentials are leaked or can be revealed either locally or from remote. Exposure of system information Vulnerabilities where excessive information about the system (e.g. version numbers, running services, installation paths, and similar) are exposed and can be revealed from remote and in some cases locally. Security Bypass This covers vulnerabilities or security issues where malicious users or people can bypass certain security mechanisms of the application. The actual impact varies significantly depending on the design and purpose of the affected application.
Description	SUSE has issued an update for multiple packages. This fixes multiple vulnerabilities and a security issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and by malicious people to disclose sensitive information, compromise a user's system, bypass certain security restrictions, and cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
