The latest openSUSE upgrades introduce a significant security patch for syncthing, alongside comprehensive guidelines and a list of affected versions.
An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available

Description

This update for syncthing fixes the following issues:

Update to 1.15.0/1.15.1

* This release fixes a vulnerability where Syncthing and the relay

server can crash due to malformed relay protocol messages

(CVE-2021-21404); see GHSA-x462-89pf-6r5h. (boo#1184428)

* This release updates the CLI to use subcommands and adds the

subcommands cli (previously standalone stcli utility) and decrypt (for

offline verifying and decrypting encrypted folders).

* With this release we invite everyone to test the "untrusted

(encrypted) devices" feature. You should not use it yet on important

production data. Thus UI controls are hidden behind a feature flag.
