Crypt::Sodium::XS module versions prior to 0.000042, for Perl, include a vulnerable version of libsodium libsodium <= 1.0.20 or a version of libsodium released before December 30, 2025 contains a vulnerability documented as CVE-2025-69277 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-69277 . The libsodium vulnerability states: In atypical use cases involving certain custom cryptography or untrusted data to crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point, mishandles checks for whether an elliptic curve point is valid because it sometimes allows points that aren't in the main cryptographic group. 0.000042 includes a version of libsodium updated to 1.0.20-stable, released January 3, 2026, which includes a fix for the vulnerability.

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:20642-1 advisory.

    Security fixes:

    - CVE-2025-15444: Cryptographic bypass via improper elliptic curve point validation (bsc#1256070).
    - CVE-2025-69277: incorrect validation of elliptic curve points certain custom cryptography or untrusted     data to       crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point function (bsc#1255764).

    Other fixes:

    - Update to 1.0.21
     * The new crypto_ipcrypt_* functions implement mechanisms for securely      encrypting and anonymizing IP addresses.
     * The sodium_bin2ip and sodium_ip2bin helper functions have been added to      complement the crypto_ipcrypt_* functions and easily convert addresses      between bytes and strings.
     * XOF: the crypto_xof_shake* and crypto_xof_turboshake* functions are
     * standard      extendable output functions. From input of any length, they can derive      output of any length with the same properties as hash functions. These      primitives are required by many post-quantum mechanisms, but can also be      used for a wide range of applications, including key derivation, session      encryption and more.
     * Performance of AES256-GCM and AEGIS on ARM has been improved with some      compilers
     * Security: optblockers have been introduced in critical code paths to prevent      compilers from introducing unwanted side channels via conditional jumps. This      was observed on RISC-V targets with specific compilers and options.
     * Security: crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point() now properly rejects      small-order points that are not in the main subgroup
     * ((nonnull)) attributes have been relaxed on some crypto_stream* functions to      allow NULL output buffers when the output length is zero
     * A cross-compilation issue with old clang versions has been fixed
     * crypto_aead_aes256gcm_is_available is exported to JavaScript
     * Security: memory fences have been added after MAC verification in AEAD to      prevent speculative access to plaintext before authentication is complete
     * Assembly files now include .gnu.property notes for proper IBT and Shadow      Stack support when building with CET instrumentation.
