Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0602-1 advisory.

Updated to version 20230222.00 and bumped go API version to 1.18 to address the following (bsc#1208723):

- CVE-2021-38297: Fixed data overwrite when passing large arguments to GOARCH=wasm GOOS=js (bsc#1191468).
