Description: This security update for libeconf, shadow and util-linux fix the following issues: libeconf: o Add libeconf to SLE-Module-Basesystem_15-SP3 because needed by 'util-linux' and 'shadow' to fix autoyast handling of security related parameters (bsc# 1192954, jsc#SLE-23384, jsc#SLE-23402) Issues fixed in libeconf: o Reading numbers with different bases (e.g. oktal) (bsc#1193632) (#157) o Fixed different issues while writing string values to file. o Writing comments to file too. o Fixed crash while merging values. o Added econftool cat option (#146) o new API call: econf_readDirsHistory (showing ALL locations) o new API call: econf_getPath (absolute path of the configuration file) o Man pages libeconf.3 and econftool.8. o Handling multiline strings. o Added libeconf_ext which returns more information like line_nr, comments, path of the configuration file,... o Econftool, an command line interface for handling configuration files. o Generating HTML API documentation with doxygen. o Improving error handling and semantic file check. o Joining entries with the same key to one single entry if env variable ECONF_JOIN_SAME_ENTRIES has been set. shadow: o The legacy code does not support /etc/login.defs.d used by YaST. Enable libeconf to read it (bsc#1192954, jsc#SLE-23384, jsc#SLE-23402) util-linux: o The legacy code does not support /etc/login.defs.d used by YaST. Enable libeconf to read it (bsc#1192954, jsc#SLE-23384, jsc#SLE-23402) o Allow use of larger values for start sector to prevent `blockdev --report` aborting (bsc#1188507) o Fixed `blockdev --report` using non-space characters as a field separator (bsc#1188507) o CVE-2021-3995: Fixed unauthorized unmount in util-linux's libmount. (bsc# 1194976) o CVE-2021-3996: Fixed unauthorized unmount in util-linux's libmount.
