DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued an update for multiple packages. This fixes a
weakness and multiple vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by
malicious, local users to disclose sensitive information and gain
escalated privileges and by malicious people to conduct HTTP response
splitting attacks, bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS
(Denial of Service), and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) The supportconfig script stores user passwords in an insecure
manner and can be exploited to disclose the passwords.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via YaST Online Update or the SUSE FTP server.
