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

  - Tesseract is an open source OCR engine. In version 5.5.3 and earlier, RecodedCharID::DeSerialize in
    src/ccutil/unicharcompress.h validates length_ but accepts negative code_ values from a crafted
    .traineddata recoder component. UnicharCompress::ComputeCodeRange in src/ccutil/unicharcompress.cpp can
    consequently produce code_range_ equal to zero, after which SetupDecoder indexes is_valid_start_ with the
    negative code on a size-zero vector. The resulting out-of-bounds bit write uses a large wrapped index and
    reliably causes a wild-address crash or allocation failure on the default LSTM engine. No fixed release is
    available as of this review. (CVE-2026-88050)

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21957-1 advisory.
