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-2026:20186-1 advisory.

 - CVE-2026-1536: HTTP header injection or response splitting via CRLF injection in the Content-Disposition header (bsc#1257440).
 - CVE-2026-1761: incorrect length calculation when parsing of multipart HTTP responses can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow (bsc#1257598).
