Multiple Vulnerabilities in Curl

An update of the curl package has been released.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:0052-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2025-14524: bearer token leak on cross-protocol redirect (bsc#1255731).
    - CVE-2025-14819: libssh global knownhost override (bsc#1255732).
