   An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata
   is now available.

Description:

   This update for fossil fixes the following issues:

   - fossil 2.12.1:
     * CVE-2020-24614: Remote authenticated users with check-in or
       administrative privileges could have executed arbitrary code
       [boo#1175760]
     * Security fix in the "fossil git export" command. New "safety-net"
       features were added to prevent similar problems in the future.
     * Enhancements to the graph display for cases when there are many
       cherry-pick merges into a single check-in. Example
     * Enhance the fossil open command with the new --workdir option and the
       ability to accept a URL as the repository name, causing the remote
       repository to be cloned automatically. Do not allow "fossil open" to
       open in a non-empty working directory unless the --keep option or the
       new --force option is used.
     * Enhance the markdown formatter to more closely follow the CommonMark
       specification with regard to text highlighting. Underscores in the
       middle of identifiers (ex: fossil_printf()) no longer need to be
       escaped.
     * The markdown-to-html translator can prevent unsafe HTML (for example:
