OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. From 1.36.0 to 1.40.0, multi-value baggage: header extraction parses each header field-value independently and aggregates members across values. This allows an attacker to amplify cpu and allocations by sending many baggage: header lines, even when each individual value is within the 8192-byte per-value parse limit. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.41.0.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:2493-1 advisory.

    - Security: re-vendor Go dependencies to address CVEs tracked against       containerized-data-importer (backport of upstream PR #4110, post-v1.65.0).
      Fixed by this update:
      * google.golang.org/grpc 1.65.0 -> 1.79.3:
        bsc#1260295 (CVE-2026-33186)
      * golang.org/x/net 0.33.0 -> 0.48.0:
        bsc#1238699 (CVE-2025-22870), bsc#1241838 (CVE-2025-22872),         bsc#1251495 (CVE-2025-47911), bsc#1251689 (CVE-2025-58190)
      * golang.org/x/crypto 0.31.0 -> 0.46.0:
        CVE-2025-22869, CVE-2025-47913, CVE-2025-47914, CVE-2025-58181         (no separate CDI bug filed)
      * go.opentelemetry.io/otel 1.28.0 -> 1.41.0:
        CVE-2026-29181 (otel is pulled in transitively at 1.39.0 by the grpc         bump; pinned to 1.41.0 so the update does not introduce it)
    - Record CVEs already fixed by the x/net release vendored in 1.64.0       (x/net 0.33.0), not previously noted in the changelog:
      bsc#1236523 (CVE-2023-45288), bsc#1230323 (CVE-2023-39325)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update of the docker package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
