openSUSE 16 Security Update : apache-ivy (openSUSE-SU-2026:21424-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 329716

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE- SU-2026:21424-1 advisory.

This update for apache-ivy fixes the following issue:

- CVE-2026-26032: directory traversal sequences in module coordinates can allow overwriting arbitrary files outside the configured buildRoot directory (bsc#1271727).

Changes for apache-ivy:

- Upgrade to 2.6.0:

- the ivy:retrieve task failed when the retrieve pattern contained some text in parentheses before the first token, for instance: /jobs/lib (JDK 17)/[artifact].[ext] (IVY-1660) + when the ivy:deliver task is configured to replace dynamic revisions, it now replaces these revisions to the resolved revision before any conflict resolution was done, which was the original behavior before Ivy 2.3.0. This way, the delivered ivy.xml can be used to have reproducible dependency resolution, especially when multiple configurations are used.
It also fixes issues where the dynamic revisions were replaced by versions from other configurations. (IVY-1485, IVY-1661) + the ivy:deliver task didn't replace dynamic revision from inherited dependencies. (IVY-1410) + the ivy:install task didn't take the from resolver into account when resolving Maven parent modules or source/javadoc artifacts.
+ the ivy:checkdepsupdate task could suggest a lesser version as update. (IVY-1665) + the ivy:makepom task no longer adds a dependency to the dependencyManagement section. (IVY-1667) + the ivy:deliver task didn't include XML namespaces from a parent ivy module when merging the descriptors. (IVY-1658) + the ivy:checkdepsupdate task no longer shows evicted versions.
(IVY-1662)
* Improvements + use Apache Commons Compress for pack200 handling to avoid issues on Java 14 and later. If pack200 is needed, make sure to add Apache Commons Compress to your classpath. (IVY-1652) + ivy:retrieve and the 'post resolve tasks' now support the override child element. (IVY-1664) + ivy:makepom will now add override elements of the ivy.xml to the dependencyManagement section of the generated pom.
(IVY-1663) + ivy:deliver and ivy:publish now writes inherited dependencies first to preserve resolve order (IVY-1656) + ModuleRevisionId.encodeToString now returns a deterministic string that doesn't rely on a implmentation of HashMap
* New feature + added a new nearest conflict manager, which handles conflicts in the same way that Maven does. (IVY-813)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected apache-ivy and / or apache-ivy-javadoc packages.
