Description:

   This update for salt fixes one security issue and bugs:

   The following security issue has been fixed:

   - CVE-2017-12791: Directory traversal vulnerability in minion id
     validation allowed remote minions with incorrect credentials to
     authenticate to a master via a crafted minion ID (bsc#1053955).

   Additionally, the following non-security issues have been fixed:

   - Added support for SUSE Manager scalability features. (bsc#1052264)
   - Introduced the kubernetes module. (bsc#1051948)
   - Notify systemd synchronously via NOTIFY_SOCKET. (bsc#1053376)
   - Added bugfix when jobs scheduled to run at a future time stay pending
     for Salt minions. (bsc#1036125)

     watchdog.
