CVE-2026-48863

A free package dependency solver using a satisfiability algorithm. The library is based on two major, but independent, blocks:

Security Fix(es):

A flaw was found in libsolv. A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the PGP verification component due to incorrect length handling when copying EdDSA 's' MPI into a stack buffer. A remote attacker could craft a malicious Ed25519 PGP signature with mismatched MPI lengths. Processing this crafted signature could lead to a denial of service in automated package or repository processing workflows.(CVE-2026-48863)

A flaw was found in libsolv. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability occurs when a victim processes a specially crafted .solv file containing negative size values in the repo_add_solv function. This leads to an undersized memory allocation and a subsequent out-of-bounds write. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service (DoS).(CVE-2026-9149)

A flaw was found in libsolv. This stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability occurs in libsolv's Debian metadata parser when processing specially crafted Debian repository metadata. An attacker could exploit this by providing malicious SHA384 or SHA512 checksum tags, leading to memory corruption and a denial of service (DoS) in the affected system.(CVE-2026-9150)

Stack-based buffer overflow in libsolv eddsa pgp signature verification allows denial of service. (CVE-2026-48863) Heap buffer overflow in libsolv repo_add_solv via negative maxsize from crafted .solv file. (CVE-2026-9149) Stack-based buffer overflow in libsolv's debian metadata parser when handling sha384/sha512 checksums. (CVE-2026-9150)

These are all security issues fixed in the libsolv-demo-0.7.38-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for zypper, libzypp, libsolv fixes the following issues:

Changes in zypper:

Update to 1.14.98:

• Transactional systems: Delegate rw-commands to transactional-wrapper if available (jsc#PED-13680, jsc#PED-15607) On a transactional system where the root filesystem is mounted read-only, zypper commands that modify the system cannot be executed directly. If the system provides a transactional-wrapper utility, zypper will automatically attempt to invoke it. The wrapper transparently executes the zypper command within a new, writable snapshot and manages the lifecycle of that snapshot based on the command's exit status. On transactional systems lacking a transactional-wrapper, users must manually invoke specialized tools -such as transactional-update- to install, update, or remove software.
• Add --filter-version-change to zypper lu. Adds filtering by version change significance to reduce noise in update listings. Supports levels: rebuild (hides rebuild-only changes) and package (hides all release-only changes).
• Autorefresh ris-services the way as plugin-services (bsc#1246504) It's actually wrong to treat service refreshes different depending on the service type. For the purpose of a service it makes no difference how the data about the repos to use are acquired.

Changes in libzypp:

Updated to 17.38.13:

• A .repo files "path=" entry must not refer to a location outside the repo (bsc#1267874, CVE-2026-44942) A "path=" entry may solely denote a sub-directory of the baseurl where the metadata are located. A relative path trying to access data outside the baseurl is reported and sanitized.
• Repo "keyhint" must denote a filename, no path (bsc#1267426, CVE-2026-44941)
• Fix potential crash on malformed or malicious repository metadata (fixes #740)
• Repo metadata: discard entries referring to a location outside the repo (bsc#1259802, CVE-2026-25707) Mirroring those data locally would refer to a location outside the repo's local cache directory. Those data entries are reported and discarded.
• zypp.conf: Allow [env] section to add environment variables. This feature is designed to enable environment-specific settings or debugging options over an extended period. See zypp.conf(5).
• Prevent configured scripts from escaping the sigcheck directory (bsc#1265223, CVE-2026-44933)
• StringV: guard hasPrefix/hasPrefixCI against reading past the view end (fixes #735)
• Mandatory signature verification plugin support (PED#11922)
• Fix purge-kernel -rc kernel handling (bsc#1239718)
• Explicitly_set_pool_DISTTYPE_RPM (fixes #726)
• Check for trusted key updates when updating the general keyring (bsc#1259706)
• Support multiple MirroredOrigin authorities (bsc#1253193)
• Workaround doxygen bug: doxygen/doxygen#12057
• libzypp.spec: Add missing graphviz-gd BuildRequires (boo#1259842)

Changes in libsolv: …

This update for libsolv, libzypp, zypper fixes the following issues

• CVE-2026-9149: Heap buffer overflow in libsolv repo_add_solv via negative maxsize from crafted .solv file (bsc#1265935).
• CVE-2026-9150: Stack-based buffer overflow in libsolv's Debian metadata parser when handling SHA384/SHA512 checksums (bsc#1265938).
• CVE-2026-25707: Handcrafted repo metadata may cause arbitrary local files to be overwritten (bsc#1259802).
• CVE-2026-44933: scan of the Mandatory signature verification plugin support (bsc#1265223).
• CVE-2026-44941: path traversal via 'keyhint' (bsc#1267426).
• CVE-2026-44942: .repo files can have an optional path which can lead to path traversal attacks (bsc#1267874).
• CVE-2026-48863: Fix buffer overflow when parsing EdDSA signature (bsc#1266039).

Changes in libzypp:

Updated to version 17.38.13 (35):

• A .repo files 'path=' entry must not refer to a location outside the repo (bsc#1267874, CVE-2026-44942) A 'path=' entry may solely denote a sub-directory of the baseurl where the metadata are located. A relative path trying to access data outside the baseurl is reported and sanitized.
• Fix potential crash on malformed or malicious repository metadata (fixes #740)
• Repo metadata: discard entries referring to a location outside the repo (bsc#1259802, CVE-2026-25707) Mirroring those data locally would refer to a location outside the repo's local cache directory. Those data entries are reported and discarded.
• zypp.conf: Allow [env] section to add environment variables. This feature is designed to enable environment-specific settings or debugging options over an extended period. See zypp.conf(5).
• Prevent configured scripts from escaping the sigcheck directory (bsc#1265223, CVE-2026-44933)
• StringV: guard hasPrefix/hasPrefixCI against reading past the view end (fixes #735)
• Mandatory signature verification plugin support (PED#11922)
• Fix purge-kernel -rc kernel handling (bsc#1239718)
• Explicitly_set_pool_DISTTYPE_RPM (fixes #726)
• Check for trusted key updates when updating the general keyring (bsc#1259706)
• Support multiple MirroredOrigin authorities (bsc#1253193)
