Package(s):libzypp CVE #(s):CVE-2013-3704
Created:September 12, 2013 Updated:September 18, 2013
Description:

From the openSUSE advisory:

libzypp was adjusted to enhance the RPM GPG key import/handling to avoid a problem with multiple key blobs. Attackers able to supplying a repository could let the packagemanager show another keys fingerprint while a second one was actually used to sign the repository (CVE-2013-3704).
