SUSE Security Update: Security update for WebYaST ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2014:0022-1 Rating: important References: #851116 Cross-References: CVE-2013-3709 Affected Products: WebYaST 1.2 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available. It includes one version update. Description: In the past WebYAST was installed with world readable secret tokens. Although these were modified on the start of the webyast service and so could not be read from remote, it was possible for local attackers on the same machine to read the secrets and so gain local root access via the webyast services. This has been fixed. (CVE-2013-3709) Security Issue reference: * CVE-2013-3709 <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-3709
