Updated libxml2 packages fix security vulnerability

When running in recovery mode, certain invalid XML documents would trigger an infinite recursion in libxml2 that ran until all stack space was exhausted. This vulnerability could have been used to facilitate a denial-of-sevice attack (CVE-2016-3627).

libxml2 limits the number of recursions an XML document can contain so to protect against the "Billion Laughs" denial-of-service attack. Unfortunately, the underlying counter was not incremented properly in all necessary locations. Therefore, specially crafted XML documents could exhaust all available stack space and crash the XML parser without running into the recursion limit (CVE-2016-3705).

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.
