What is SUSE-SU-2023:4672-1?

SUSE-SU-2023:4672-1 is a vulnerability in suse-build-key, published on 6 Dec 2023.

Official description

This update for suse-build-key fixes the following issues:

This update runs a import-suse-build-key script.

The previous libzypp-post-script based installation is replaced with a systemd timer and service (bsc#1217215 bsc#1216410 jsc#PED-2777).

  • suse-build-key-import.service
  • suse-build-key-import.timer

It imports the future SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 4096 bit RSA key primary and reserve keys. After successful import the timer is disabled.

To manually import them you can also run:

rpm –import /usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/keys/gpg-pubkey-3fa1d6ce-63c9481c.asc

rpm –import /usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/keys/gpg-pubkey-d588dc46-63c939db.asc
