high Nessus Plugin ID 362528

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- RU-2026:22002-1 advisory.

Changes in tesseract-ocr:

- Update tesseract-CVE-2026-88053.patch to null the adaptive template pointer arrays again and the class pruners as upstream does, fixing an abort at exit on every run and invalid frees when a corrupt traineddata is rejected (boo#1282863)

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.
