SUSE Security Update for apache: Critical patch addressing CVE-2021-1234 affecting various server distributions and graphical interfaces.
An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available

Summary

The deployment framework puppet received an update for a security issue in January. The backport of this security issue was however incomplete and broke existing setups. As the scope of the problem is limited to local scenarios where an attacker likely has access already, and backporting is not trivial, this update reverts the fix for now. We are evaluating the possibility of an update to puppet 2.7 in the future. Security Issue reference: * CVE-2013-4761 Patch Instructions: To install this SUSE Security Update use YaST online_update. Alternatively you can run the command listed for your product: - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 for VMware: zypper in -t patch slessp3-puppet-9033 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3:
