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-2026:22277-1 advisory.

Changes in git-annex:

- CVE-2026-112818: Fix cross-repository data exfiltration (bsc#1288146)

- Touch tmp/configure-stamp after building so that the Makefile does not reconfigure with its own flags, discarding the ones above, and rebuild the binary during %install/%check.
