## 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

```text
Check this codebase for SUSE-SU-2023:4672-1 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: SUSE-SU-2023:4672-1 is a vulnerability in suse-build-key, published on 6 Dec 2023. 
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of SUSE-SU-2023:4672-1 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: suse-build-key. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
