   An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update for rpm fixes the following issues:

   These security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2017-7500: rpm did not properly handle RPM installations when a
     destination path was a symbolic link to a directory, possibly changing
     ownership and permissions of an arbitrary directory, and RPM files being
      placed in an arbitrary destination (bsc#943457).
   - CVE-2017-7501: rpm used temporary files with predictable names when
     installing an RPM. An attacker with ability to write in a directory
     where files will be installed could create symbolic links to an
     arbitrary location and modify content, and possibly permissions to
     arbitrary files, which could be used for denial of service or possibly
     privilege escalation (bsc#943457)

   This is a reissue of the above security fixes for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12
   GA, SP1 and SP2 LTSS, they have already been released for SUSE Linux
   Enterprise Server 12 SP3.
