This security update for libeconf, shadow and util-linux fix the following issues:
libeconf:
- 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: - Reading numbers with different bases (e.g. oktal) (bsc#1193632) (#157) - Fixed different issues while writing string values to file. - Writing comments to file too. - Fixed crash while merging values. - Added econftool cat option (#146) - new API call: econf_readDirsHistory (showing ALL locations) - new API call: econf_getPath (absolute path of the configuration file) - Man pages libeconf.3 and econftool.8. - Handling multiline strings. - Added libeconf_ext which returns more information like line_nr, comments, path of the configuration file,... - Econftool, an command line interface for handling configuration files. - Generating HTML API documentation with doxygen. - Improving error handling and semantic file check. - Joining entries with the same key to one single entry if env variable ECONF_JOIN_SAME_ENTRIES has been set.
