openSUSE 16: go1.21 / go1.21-race / go1.22 / go1.22-openssl / etc (openSUSE-SU-2026:21447-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 330584

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-2026:21447-1 advisory.

Changes in go compilers:

- Switch from update-alternatives to new method.

- Packaging improvements:
* Revert %ghost /usr/bin/go /usr/bin/gofmt which prevents install of a working go command. Refs boo#1245878 bsc#1264395
* Based on feedback from Factory maintainers restore the original lifecycle for these files: Each go1.x toolchain shares ownership of a go and gofmt symlink managed by the alternatives system (update-alternatives and libalternatives). When the last go1.x package is uninstalled the symlinks will be removed.
* Context: %ghost was introduced to prevent file conflicts among go1.x toolchain packages reported by installcheck dev tool.
%ghost prevents the files from being installed, which results in no installed go command. The shared ownership of the go and gofmt symlinks is intentional.
* Define go_bootstrap_version with digits without go1.x prefix.
Correct path spelling to align with current toolchain layout GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=%{_libdir}/go/%{go_bootstrap_version}, Noting interstitial /go/ in path. Fixes bootstrap ERROR: Cannot find /usr/lib64/go1.x/bin/go.
Set $GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP to a working Go tree >= Go 1.x.y.
Bootstrap error first observed when using %ghost /usr/bin/go.
Fixed by Eugenio Paolantonio. Refs boo#1245878 bsc#1264395
* Mark %ghost /usr/bin/go /usr/bin/gofmt to avoid file conflicts among go1.x toolchain packages. These files are managed by the alternatives system. Refs boo#1245878 bsc#1264395

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 packages.
