An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has one
errata is now available.

Description:

This update fixes the following security issues:

– Enforce receive packet size, thus eliminating buffer overflow and
potential security issue. (bsc#957162 CVE-2015-7512)
– Infinite loop in processing command block list. CVE-2015-8345
(bsc#956829):

from upstream seabios)
