1) Solved Security Vulnerabilities

   To avoid flooding mailing lists with SUSE Security Announcements for minor
   issues, SUSE Security releases weekly summary reports for the low profile
   vulnerability fixes. The SUSE Security Summary Reports do not list or
   download URLs like the SUSE Security Announcements that are released for
   more severe vulnerabilities.

   Fixed packages for the following incidents are already available on our FTP
   server and via the YaST Online Update.

   - lighttpd
     This update fixes a denial of service vulnerability in lighttpd
     that can be triggered using slow requests.
     (CVE-2010-0295: CVSS v2 Base Score: 5.0)
     Affected Products: openSUSE 11.0-11.2, SLE10, SLE11

   - net-snmp/libsnmp15/perl-SNMP
     This update of net-snmp fixes the following bugs:
     - truncated walk of hrSWRunPath
     - crash when 64-bit counters wrap
     - unknown host names in snmp traps
     - sensitive host information disclosure
       (CVE-2008-6123: CVSS v2 Base Score: 5.0)
     Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2

   - fuse
     A race condition in fusermount allowed users to umount any
     filesystem (CVE-2009-3297: CVSS v2 Base Score: 1.7).
     Affected Products: SLE11

   - xpdf
     This update of xpdf fixes an integer overflow/signed-issue that may
     lead to code execution.
     (CVE-2009-4035: CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.8)
     Affected Products: SLES9

2) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds

   - samba
     At the weekend a vulnerability (directory traversal) in the samba server
     code was found that allows users (even guest) with write-access to a
     share to use symbolic links to access files outside of the share.
     The files can be read and modified with the privileges of the user
     ('nobody' for guest) only.
     To disable the affected code path edit the [global] section in smb.conf
     and add "wide links = no"

3) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information

  - Announcement authenticity verification:

    SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web
    sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is
    guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE
    security announcements are published with a valid signature.

    To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file
    and run the command

      gpg --verify 

    replacing  with the name of the file containing the announcement.
    The output for a valid signature looks like:

      gpg: Signature made  using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
      gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team "

    where  is replaced by the date the document was signed.

    If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can
    import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the
    command

      gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc

  - Package authenticity verification:

    SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the
    world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free
    and open source software community, the authenticity and integrity of a
    package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with.

    The internal RPM package signatures provide an easy way to verify the
    authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command

      rpm -v --checksig 

    to verify the signature of the package, replacing  with the
    filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it
    contains a valid signature from build@suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.

    This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based
    distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can
    also find it on the first installation CD and included at the end of this
    announcement.
