A recent security patch for openSUSE addresses two vulnerabilities concerning permissions that impact users of Leap 15.1.
An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has three fixes is now available.

Description

This update for permissions fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

- CVE-2019-3687: Fixed a privilege escalation which could allow a local

user to read network traffic if wireshark is installed (bsc#1148788)

- CVE-2020-8013: Fixed an issue where chkstat set unintended

setuid/capabilities for mrsh and wodim (bsc#1163922).

Non-security issues fixed:

- Fixed a regression where chkstat breaks without /proc available

(bsc#1160764, bsc#1160594).

(bsc#1161779).
