DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued an update for multiple packages. This fixes some

1) The zypp-refresh-patches wrapper does not ask the user for
permission before adding new repository keys. This can be exploited
to trick the wrapper into parsing manipulated XML repository files.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via YaST Online Update or the SUSE FTP
server.
