An update that solves five vulnerabilities can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for jq fixes the following issues:

  * 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).
