Updated expat packages fix security vulnerabilities

Updated expat packages fix security vulnerabilities:

An issue was introduced when CVE-2012-0876 was addressed. Stefan Sørensen discovered that the use of the function XML_Parse() seeds the random number generator generating repeated outputs for rand() calls (CVE-2012-6702).

Due to an incomplete solution for CVE-2012-0876, the parser poorly seeds the random number generator allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via an XML file with crafted identifiers (CVE-2016-5300).

Security update for expat

This update for expat fixes the following security issues:

  • CVE-2012-6702: Expat, when used in a parser that has not called XML_SetHashSalt or passed it a seed of 0, made it easier for context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via vectors involving use of the srand function. (bsc#983215)
  • CVE-2016-5300: The XML parser in Expat did not use sufficient entropy for hash initialization, which allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted identifiers in an XML document.

Security update for SLES 12 Docker image

The SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 container image has been updated to include security and stability fixes.

The following issues related to building of the container images have been fixed:

  • Included krb5 package to avoid the inclusion of krb5-mini which gets selected as a dependency by the Build Service solver. (bsc#1056193)
  • Do not install recommended packages when building container images. (bsc#975726)

A number of security issues that have been already fixed by updates released for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 are now included in the base image. A package/CVE cross-reference is available below.

It was discovered that Expat unexpectedly called srand in certain circumstances. This could reduce the security of calling applications. (CVE-2012-6702)

It was discovered that Expat incorrectly handled seeding the random number generator. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-5300)
