<p>An update that solves four vulnerabilities can now be installed.</p>
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>This update for jq fixes the following issues</p>
<ul>
<li>CVE-2026-43896: unbounded recursion in jv_object_merge_recursive() can lead to C stack exhaustion and a process crash (bsc#1265075).</li>
<li>CVE-2026-44777: uncontrolled recursion in ordinary module loader when two valid modules <code>include</code> each other can lead to stack exhaustion and process crash (bsc#1265076).</li>
<li>CVE-2026-49839: fixed a bug where jq --rawfile can turn a handled oversized-string error into invalid-state reuse and a real heap out-of-bounds write in assertion-disabled builds (bsc#1269220).</li>
<li>CVE-2026-54679: integer overflow in jvp_string_append can lead to a buffer overrun on 32-bit systems (bsc#1269390).</li>
</ul>
