Affected Products:

  * SUSE Linux Micro 6.2

  
  
An update that solves 11 vulnerabilities can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for jq fixes the following issues:

  * CVE-2025-48060: improper handling of string data in `jv_string_empty` can
    lead to heap buffer overflow and a crash when processing crafted input
    (bsc#1244116).
  * CVE-2026-32316: integer overflow within the `jvp_string_append()` and
    `jvp_string_copy_replace_bad` functions can lead to heap buffer overflow
    when evaluating untrusted jq queries (bsc#1262044).
  * CVE-2026-33947: unbounded recursion in functions `jv_setpath()`,
    `jv_getpath()`, and `delpaths_sorted()` can lead to excessive resource
    consumption when processing crafted JSON input (bsc#1262069).
  * CVE-2026-39956: missing runtime type checks in `_strindices` and
    `jv_string_indexes()` can lead to a crash when evaluating untrusted jq
    filters against a release build (bsc#1262070).
  * CVE-2026-39979: incorrect processing of non-nul-terminated counted buffers
    in `jv_parse_sized` can lead to an out-of-bounds read when processing
    malformed JSON (bsc#1262071).
  * CVE-2026-40164: use of `MurmurHash3` with a hardcoded seed allows pre-
    computation of key collisions and can lead to a denial of service via
    resource exhaustion when processing crafted JSON objects (bsc#1262072).
  * CVE-2026-40612: recursion into nested arrays/objects with no depth limit in
    `jv_contains` can lead to a C stack exhaustion when processing crafted input
    (bsc#1265060).
  * CVE-2026-41256: truncation of top-level jq programs loaded with `-f` and can
    lead to the execution of unintended programs (bsc#1265061).
  * CVE-2026-41257: integer overflow in `stack_reallocate` can lead to memory
    corruption and DoS when processing jq bytecode (bsc#1265062).
  * CVE-2026-43894: signed integer overflow in the `decNumberFromString` `D2U()`
    macro can lead to an out-of-bounds memory write when processing large number
    literals (bsc#1265070).
  * CVE-2026-33948: improper handling of buffer sizes via `strlen()` instead of
    `fgets()` in CLI input parsing allows validation bypass via embedded NUL
    bytes (bsc#1262043).
