These security issues were fixed in SMT:
- CVE-2018-12471: Xml External Entity processing in the RegistrationSharing
modules allowed to read arbitrary file read (bsc#1103809).
- CVE-2018-12470: SQL injection in RegistrationSharing module allows remote
attackers to run arbitrary SQL statements (bsc#1103810).
- CVE-2018-12472: Authentication bypass in sibling check facilitated further
attacks on SMT (bsc#1104076).
SUSE would like to thank Jake Miller for reporting these issues to us.
These non-security issues were fixed in SMT:
- Fix cron jobs randomization (bsc#1097560)
- Fix duplicate migration paths (bsc#1097824)
This non-security issue was fixed in yast2-smt:
- Remove cron job rescheduling (bsc#1097560)
- Added missing translation marks (bsc#1037811)
- Explicitly mention 'Organization Credentials' (fate#321759)
- Rearrange the SMT set-up dialog (bsc#977043)
- Make the Filter button default (bsc#1006984)
- Prevent exiting the repo selection dialog via hitting Enter in
the repository filter (bsc#1006984)
- report when error occurs during repo mirroring (bsc#1006989)
- Use TextEntry-based filter for repos (fate#319777)");
