Description:

   This update for couchdb fixes the following security issues:

   - CVE-2018-8007: Apache CouchDB administrative users can configure the

     possible for a CouchDB administrator user to escalate their privileges
     to that of the operating system's user that CouchDB runs under, by
     bypassing the blacklist of configuration settings that are not allowed
     to be modified via the HTTP API (bsc#1100973)
