## Description:

This update for wicked fixes the following issue

  * CVE-2026-44932: indirect remote shell command injection via unsanitized DHCP
    options (bsc#1265221).

Changes for wicked:

  * Update to version 0.6.79
  * Fix to escape single-quotes in leaseinfo dump output used by the `wicked
    test dhcp4` and `wicked test dhcp6` and written to the
    /run/wicked/leaseinfo.* files, e.g. to pass them to netconfig. A netconfig
    modify filtered for strict key='value' lines without any escaped quotes and
    discarded these lines already before.
  * Fix posix-tz-dbname and tz-string option processing checks to permit only
    valid characters according to RFC4833.
  * Discard string values containing single-quotes in other options.
  * Trigger to regenerate initrd that may contain wicked binaries on updates
    from wicked versions <= 0.6.78.
