Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

xtrabackup was updated to 2.1.8 :

Disabled the 'binary version check' functionality in the VersionCheck module due to security concerns. The automatic version check remains disabled in the openSUSE package. [bnc#864194] CVE-2014-2029 More bugs fixed :

- do not discard read-ahead buffers through incorrect usage of posic_fadvise() hints, which resulted in higher I/O rate on the backup stage

- Spurious trailing data blocks that would normally be ignored by InnoDB could lead to an assertion failure on the backup stage

- A spurious warning message could cause issues with third-party wrapper scripts

- xbcrypt could fail with the xbcrypt:xb_crypt_read_chunk:
unable to read chunk iv size at offset error under some circumstances

- xbstream could sometimes hang when extracting a broken or incomplete input stream

Solution

Update the affected xtrabackup packages.
