Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:4489-1 advisory.

Update to upstream version 4.1.130.

Security issues fixed:

- CVE-2025-67735: lack of URI sanitization in `HttpRequestEncoder` allows for CRLF injection through a request URI and can lead to request smuggling (bsc#1255048).

Other updates and bugfixes:

- Version 4.1.130:
* Update `lz4-java` version to 1.10.1
* Close `Channel` and fail bootstrap when setting a `ChannelOption` causes an error
* Discard the following `HttpContent` for preflight request
* Fix race condition in `NonStickyEventExecutorGroup` causing incorrect `inEventLoop()` results
* Fix Zstd compression for large data
* Fix `ZstdEncoder` not producing data when source is smaller than block
* Make big endian ASCII hashcode consistent with little endian
* Fix reentrancy bug in `ByteToMessageDecoder`
* Add 32k and 64k size classes to adaptive allocator
* Re-enable reflective field accesses in native images
* Correct HTTP/2 padding length check
* Fix HTTP startline validation
* Fix `MpscIntQueue` bug

- Build against the `org.jboss:jdk-misc` artifact that is implementing the `sun.misc` classes removed in Java 25
