"The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
openSUSE-SU-2026:21747-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2026-66484: improper sanitization in the tar archive extraction functionality allows for the
    creation of hard
      links outside intended directory via malicious tar archives (bsc#1274856).
    - CVE-2026-66485: improper memory management in the `make_path` function when allocating memory allows for
    denial of
      service via crafted archives (bsc#1274857).
    - CVE-2026-66486: improper encoding or escaping of output in the archive member listing functionality
    allows for
      terminal control sequence injection via crafted archive member names (bsc#1274858).
