DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued an update for ConsoleKit. This fixes a weakness,
which can be exploited by malicious users to potentially gain
escalated privileges.
The weakness is caused due to improper handling of the "is-local"
property and may lead to additional privileges being granted to
remote users.
SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the zypper package manager.
