  • SLE SDK 10 SP4

  • An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has one errata is now available.

    Description:


    Multiple security vulnerabilities were reported in RPM
    which could have been exploited via specially crafted RPM
    files to cause a denial of service (application crash) or
    potentially allow attackers to execute arbitrary code.

    Additionally, a non-security issue was fixed that could
    cause a division by zero in cycles calculation under rare
    circumstances.
