SUSE SLES16 Security Update : guava (SUSE-SU-2026:24263-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 371081

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES16 / SLES_SAP16 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:24263-1 advisory.

This update for guava fixes the following issue:

- CVE-2026-102554: Allocation of resources without limits or throttling (CWE-770) during Java object deserialization allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service via OutOfMemoryError (bsc#1284985).

Changes for guava:

- Adapt the generated OSGi data to reality
- Upgrade to guava 33.7.2
* Changes of 33.7.2 + collect: Changed MapMaker, CompactHashMap, and CompactHashSet deserialization to avoid eagerly allocating as much memory as a serialization payload requests (bsc#1284985, CVE-2026-102554)
* Changes of 33.7.1 + removes the Multi-Release line from our jar manifest, fixing an issue under Java 9 and 10 that was introduced to guava-jre in version 33.7.0.
* Changes of 33.7.0 + Guava module-info.class is now present at the root of the jar instead of under a multi-release root. This prevents the jar from containing a file at META-INF/versions/9/OSGI-INF/ /MANIFEST.MF, which occasionally causes trouble for some users + collect: Changed some ImmutableMap implementations to create a new, lightweight object on each call to view methods like keySet(), rather than creating and storing that object during the first call for reuse later. This is likely to slightly improve performance for some users, but it could lead to regressions in unusual cases, such as repeatedly calling asMultimap().inverse() on the same ImmutableMap instance.
+ net: Added HttpHeaders constant for on-prefetch-activation.
+ net: Added MediaType constants for application/yaml and application/x-pem-file.
+ util.concurrent: Fixed ExecutionSequencer queue stall when delegate executor throws RejectedExecutionException.
* Changes of 33.6.0 + Migrated some classes from finalize() to PhantomReference in preparation for the removal of finalization.
+ cache: Deprecated CacheBuilder APIs that use TimeUnit in favor of those that use Duration.
+ collect: Added toImmutableSortedMap collectors that use the natural comparator.
+ collect: Changed ConcurrentHashMultiset, ImmutableMultimap, and TreeMultiset deserialization to avoid mutating final fields. In extremely unlikely scenarios in which an instance of that type contains an object that refers back to that instance, this could lead to a broken instance that throws NullPointerException when used.
+ graph: Removed @Beta from all APIs in the package.
+ graph: Added support to Graphs.transitiveClosure() for different strategies for adding self-loops.
+ graph: Added an asNetwork() view to Graph and ValueGraph.
+ hash: Added BloomFilter.serializedSize().
+ net: Added HttpHeaders.CDN_CACHE_CONTROL.
* Changes of 33.5.0 + For users of guava-gwt: Google has moved off GWT internally.
We plan to continue to release guava-gwt for users of GWT and J2CL, but the artifact is no longer tested for GWT-specific issues, and we have limited resources to fix any unexpected issues that might arise. While we do not anticipate any specific problems, we can't guarantee how long support will continue.
+ Listed the JSpecify annotations as an optional dependency in our OSGi metadata.
+ cache: Improved the handling of exceptions from compute functions in Cache.asMap(). (We do still recommend using Caffeine rather than com.google.common.cache.) + collect: Improved Iterators.mergeSorted() to preserve stability for equal elements.
+ math: Added saturatedAbs methods to IntMath and LongMath.
+ net: Added image/avif to MediaType.
+ util.concurrent: Added Striped.custom.

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 guava, guava-javadoc and / or guava-testlib packages.
