There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to versions 4.1.136.Final and
    4.2.16.Final, the OcspServerCertificateValidator forwards the SslHandshakeCompletionEvent before the
    asynchronous OCSP validation completes. This allows the client's downstream handlers to send sensitive
    application data (e.g., HTTP requests) to a revoked server before the channel is closed by the OCSP check.
    n io.netty.handler.ssl.ocsp.OcspServerCertificateValidator#userEventTriggered, when an
    SslHandshakeCompletionEvent is received, the validator immediately calls ctx.fireUserEventTriggered(evt).
    It then initiates an asynchronous OCSP query using OcspClient.query. Because the handshake completion
    event is forwarded immediately, downstream handlers in the client's pipeline are notified that the TLS
    handshake is successful. They may then begin reading and processing incoming application data or sending
    outgoing data. If the OCSP response later indicates the server's certificate is REVOKED, the validator
    closes the channel, but by this time, the client may have already leaked sensitive data to a revoked
    server or processed malicious responses from it. This issue has been fixed in versions 4.1.136.Final and
    4.2.16.Final. (CVE-2026-56822)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3482-1 advisory.

    Upgrade netty to upstream version 4.1.136 and netty-tcnative to version 2.0.80 Final.
