Affected Products:
* SUSE Linux Micro 6.0
* SUSE Linux Micro 6.1
An update that solves nine vulnerabilities and has one fix can now be installed.
## Security update for freetype2
### Description:
This update for freetype2 fixes the following issue:
Update to freetype2 2.14.2:
* CVE-2026-23865: Integer overflow in the tt_var_load_item_variation_store
function (bsc#1259118).
Changelog:
* Several changes related to LCD filtering are implemented to achieve better
performance and encourage sound practices.
* Instead of blanket LCD filtering over the entire bitmap, it is now applied
only to non-zero spans using direct rendering. This speeds up the ClearType-
like rendering by more than 40% at sizes above 32 ppem.
* Setting the filter weights with FT_Face_Properties is no longer supported.
The default and light filters are optimized to work with any face.
* The legacy libXft LCD filter algorithm is no longer provided.
* A bunch of potential security problems have been found (bsc#1259118,
CVE-2026-23865). All users should update.
* The italic angle in `PS_FontInfo` is now stored as a fixed-point value in
degrees for all Type 1 fonts and their derivatives, consistent with CFF
fonts and common practices. The broken underline position and thickness
values are fixed for CFF fonts.
* The `x` field in the `FT_Span` structure is now unsigned.
* Demo program `ftgrid` got an option `-m` to select a start character to
display.
* Similarly, demo program `ftmulti` got an option `-m` to select a text string
for rendering.
* Option `-d` in the demo program `ttdebug` is now called `-a`, expecting a
comma-separated list of axis values. The user interface is also slightly
improved.
* The `ftinspect` demo program can now be compiled with Qt6, too.
* The auto-hinter got new abilities. It can now better separate diacritic
glyphs from base glyphs at small sizes by artificially moving diacritics up
(or down) if necessary
* Tilde accent glyphs get vertically stretched at small sizes so that they
don't degenerate to horizontal lines.
* Diacritics directly attached to a base glyph (like the ogonek in character
'ę') no longer distort the shape of the base glyph
* The TrueType instruction interpreter was optimized to produce a 15% gain in
the glyph loading speed.
* Handling of Variation Fonts is now considerably faster
* TrueType and CFF glyph loading speed has been improved by 5-10% on modern
64-bit platforms as a result of better handling of fixed-point
multiplication.
* The BDF driver now loads fonts 75% faster.
## Security update for busybox
### Description:
This update for busybox fixes the following issues:
* CVE-2023-42363: use-after-free vulnerability in xasprintf function in
xfuncs_printf.c (bsc#1217580).
* CVE-2023-42364: use-after-free in the awk.c evaluate function (bsc#1217584).
* CVE-2023-42365: use-after-free in the awk.c copyvar function (bsc#1217585).
* CVE-2025-46394: files in a TAR archive can have their filenames hidden from
a listing if terminal escape sequences are used when naming other files
included in the archive (bsc#1241661).
* CVE-2025-60876: request line incorrectly neutralized mat lead to header
injection (bsc#1253245).
* CVE-2026-26157: Arbitrary file overwrite and potential code execution via
incomplete path sanitization (bsc#1258163).
* CVE-2026-26158: Arbitrary file modification and privilege escalation via
unvalidated tar archive entries (bsc#1258167).
* CVE-2021-42380: Additional fix for use-after-realloc in awk (bsc#1192869).
