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-2026:22134-1 advisory.

Changes in gh:

- Update to version 2.102.0, fixing four security issues (GHSA-39wj-f2f4-978v, GHSA-4mq3-hpgx-9cx8, GHSA-qcwj-mr2r-2cx7, GHSA-wjmr-j3rp-mh2g):

* gh release/run/attestation download and repo read-file --output could write to an unintended file through symbolic links
* gh attestation verify compared --source-ref case-insensitively
* gh attestation verify matched --signer-workflow only by prefix
* gh skill search could inject options into gh skill install
* Copy auth codes to the clipboard by default (gh config set clipboard disabled to opt out)
* Remove the gh repo garden command and the multi-account migration
* Use API SSH URLs for repository clones
* Validate repository names during interactive creation
* Fix remote branch deletion on owner case mismatch
* Propagate the gh path to extensions
* Allow ghu_ tokens to attach files
* Allow gh repo set-default --unset without an argument
* Bump go-gh to 2.16.1, golang.org/x/crypto to 0.57.0, github.com/klauspost/compress to 1.20.1 and Go to 1.27.1
- Update golang.org/x/net to 0.60.0 to fix excessive CPU consumption on repeated HTTP/2 initial window changes (CVE-2026-78669, bsc#1285291).
- Require golang(API) >= 1.27 as upstream moved to Go 1.27.
