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

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21687-1 advisory.

- CVE-2026-59881: excessive resource consumption due to WebSocket client accepting compressed frames without negotiated permessage-deflate (bsc#1273125).
