openSUSE Security Update : build (openSUSE-SU-2011:0174-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 53699

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The build script uses cpio to extract untrusted rpm packages for bootstrapping virtual machines. cpio is not safe to use for this task, therefore the build script now uses bsdtar instead (CVE-2010-4226).

Solution

Update the affected build package.
