The PackagerResolver of Apache Ivy is able to download online artifacts and to (re)package them in a format defined by a packager.xml file. This repackaging is done by an Ant script, which is stored in a subdirectory of the configured "buildRoot" directory. This subdirectory is calculated based on modules coordinates, like the organisation, name or version. If one of the coordinates contains "../" sequences - which are valid characters for Ivy coordinates in general- it is possible to break out of the configured "buildRoot" directory where other files can be overwritten. In order to exploit this vulnerability an attacker needs to have access to a packager repository and add or modify the coordinates in ivy.xml files to have such "../" sequences. Users of Apache Ivy 2.0.0 to 2.5.3 (inclusive) should upgrade to Ivy 2.6.0.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES16 / SLES_SAP16 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:22858-1 advisory.

    This update for apache-ivy fixes the following issue:

    - CVE-2026-26032: directory traversal sequences in module coordinates can allow overwriting arbitrary     files outside       the configured buildRoot directory (bsc#1271727).

    Changes for apache-ivy:

    - Upgrade to 2.6.0:

     - the ivy:retrieve task failed when the retrieve pattern      contained some text in parentheses before the first token, for      instance: /jobs/lib (JDK 17)/[artifact].[ext] (IVY-1660)      + when the ivy:deliver task is configured to replace dynamic      revisions, it now replaces these revisions to the resolved      revision before any conflict resolution was done, which was      the original behavior before Ivy 2.3.0. This way, the      delivered ivy.xml can be used to have reproducible dependency      resolution, especially when multiple configurations are used.
     It also fixes issues where the dynamic revisions were replaced      by versions from other configurations. (IVY-1485, IVY-1661)      + the ivy:deliver task didn't replace dynamic revision from      inherited dependencies. (IVY-1410)      + the ivy:install task didn't take the from resolver into      account when resolving Maven parent modules or      source/javadoc artifacts.
     + the ivy:checkdepsupdate task could suggest a lesser version as      update. (IVY-1665)      + the ivy:makepom task no longer adds a dependency to the      dependencyManagement section. (IVY-1667)      + the ivy:deliver task didn't include XML namespaces from a      parent ivy module when merging the descriptors. (IVY-1658)      + the ivy:checkdepsupdate task no longer shows evicted versions.
     (IVY-1662)
     * Improvements      + use Apache Commons Compress for pack200 handling to avoid      issues on Java 14 and later. If pack200 is needed, make sure      to add Apache Commons Compress to your classpath. (IVY-1652)      + ivy:retrieve and the 'post resolve tasks' now support the      override child element. (IVY-1664)      + ivy:makepom will now add override elements of the ivy.xml to      the dependencyManagement section of the generated pom.
     (IVY-1663)      + ivy:deliver and ivy:publish now writes inherited dependencies      first to preserve resolve order (IVY-1656)      + ModuleRevisionId.encodeToString now returns a deterministic      string that doesn't rely on a implmentation of HashMap
     * New feature      + added a new nearest conflict manager, which handles conflicts      in the same way that Maven does. (IVY-813)
