Description

The system is missing one or more SuSE security patches. Security Fix: This updates solves a problem with the initialisation of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH while starting GNOME by using /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome. This bug can lead to local privilege escalation.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
