Description:

This update for salt fixes the following issues:

  • Fix memory leak produced by batch async find_jobs mechanism (bsc#1140912)
  • Grant read and execute permission to others (bsc#1150447) Since Tomcat is running under the user "tomcat" and it needs to have read permission there, we have to grant read and execute permissions for /usr/share/salt-formulas
