Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03449-1 advisory.

- CVE-2025-50422: Fixed Poppler crash on malformed input (bsc#1247589)

- Update to version 1.18.4:
- The dependency on LZO has been made optional through a build time configuration toggle.
- You can build Cairo against a Freetype installation that does not have the FT_Color type.
- Cairo tests now build on Solaris 11.4 with GCC 14.
- The DirectWrite backend now builds on MINGW 11.
- The DirectWrite backend now supports font variations and proper glyph coverage.
- Use tarball in lieu of source service due to freedesktop gitlab migration, will switch back at next release at the latest.
- Add pkgconfig(lzo2) BuildRequires: New optional dependency, build lzo2 support feature.

- Convert to source service: allows for easier upgrades by the GNOME team.

- Update to version 1.18.2:
- The malloc-stats code has been removed from the tests directory
- Cairo now requires a version of pixman equal to, or newer than, 0.40.
- There have been multiple build fixes for newer versions of GCC for MSVC; for Solaris; and on macOS 10.7.
- PNG errors caused by loading malformed data are correctly propagated to callers, so they can handle the case.
- Both stroke and fill colors are now set when showing glyphs on a PDF surface.
- All the font options are copied when creating a fallback font object.
- When drawing text on macOS, Cairo now tries harder to select the appropriate font name.
- Cairo now prefers the COLRv1 table inside a font, if one is available.
- Cairo requires a C11 toolchain when building.
