"The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
openSUSE-SU-2026:21669-1 advisory.
Changes in wicked:
- Fix two OOB reads in ni_capture_inspect_udp_header and improve:
- Reject packets with ip_len < ihl to avoid a size_t underflow of the
UDP length, which the checksum truncates to uint16_t (bsc#1274627,
CVE-2026-71401).
- Set payload_len to the remaining payload, not ip_len, which over-read
the DHCP option walker by ihl + 8 bytes past the buffer (bsc#1274627,
CVE-2026-71402).
- Avoid checksumming packets that fail the length/protocol checks and
tidy up the debug messages (bsc#1274627).
- Fix underflow check in ni_dhcp4_option_next to handle option code
and length separately as the END and PAD options don't have length
(bsc#1274627).
