DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued an update for susestudio and kiwi4. This fixes
multiple weaknesses and vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by
malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system and by malicious
people to conduct script insertion attacks and compromise a
vulnerable system.

For more information:
SA45754

1) Certain unspecified input passed via the "overlay files" tab when
cloning an appliance from an untrusted source is not properly
sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert HTML and
script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site if malicious data is viewed.

2) Certain unspecified input related to overlay file paths is not
properly sanitised before being used and can be exploited to inject
arbitrary shell commands within a "chown" related command line.

3) Certain input via image names is not properly sanitised before
being used and can be exploited to inject arbitrary shell commands.

4) Certain input via "kiwi_oemtitle" in .profile is not properly
sanitised before being used and can be exploited to inject arbitrary
shell commands using double quotes.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the zypper package manager.
