zypp-refresh-patches in zypper in SUSE openSUSE 10.2, 10.3, and 11.0 does not ask the user before accepting repository keys, which allows remote repositories to cause a denial of service (package data corruption) via a spoofed key.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-3187 affects zypper on SUSE openSUSE 10.2, 10.3, and 11.0. The tool could accept repository signing keys without asking the user, allowing a spoofed repository key to corrupt package data and disrupt update operations. Exposure appears limited to legacy SUSE openSUSE 10.2, 10.3, and 11.0 systems using zypper with remote repositories. The bundle does not identify other affected products or maintained branches. Treat this as a legacy platform risk rather than an internet-wide emergency. It can disrupt patching and package integrity, so any remaining affected systems should be found, isolated from untrusted repositories, and moved to supported platforms. Mitigation focus: Check SUSE/openSUSE advisory guidance for the applicable zypper or libzypp update.; Remove or disable untrusted repositories on affected openSUSE systems.; Avoid refreshing packages from repositories whose keys were accepted unexpectedly..
