Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:20134-1 advisory.

Upgrade to upstream tag jdk-17.0.18+8 (January 2026 CPU)

Security fixes:

- CVE-2026-21925: Fixed Oracle Java SE component RMI (bsc#1257034).
- CVE-2026-21932: Fixed Oracle Java SE component AWT and JavaFX (bsc#1257036).

- CVE-2026-21945: Fixed Oracle Java SE component Security (bsc#1257038).

Other fixes:

- Do not depend on update-desktop-files (jsc#PED-14507, jsc#PED-15216).
