   An update that has 7 recommended fixes can now be installed.

Description:


   This update for SuSEfirewall2 fixes the following issues:

   - Install symlink to SuSEfirewall2 with the updated SUSE spelling.
     (bsc#938727, fate#316521)
   - Remove basic.target to avoid loop with SuSEfirewall2. (bsc#961258)
   - Ignore the bootlock when incremental updates for hotplugged or virtual
     devices are coming in during boot. This prevents lockups for example
     when drbd is used with FW_BOOT_FULL_INIT. (bsc#785299)
   - Support for IPv6 in FW_TRUSTED_NETS config variable. (bsc#841046)
   - Don't log dropped broadcast IPv6 broadcast/multicast packets by default
     to avoid cluttering the kernel log. (bsc#847193)
   - Only apply FW_KERNEL_SECURITY proc settings, if not overriden by the
     administrator in /etc/sysctl.conf. This allows you to benefit from some
     of the kernel security settings, while overwriting others. (bsc#906136)
   - Fix a race condition in systemd unit files that could cause the
     SuSEfirewall2_init unit to sporadically fail, because /tmp was not
     there/writable yet. (bsc#1014987)
