Does anyone know what's behind the massive upgrade of Tumbleweed this morning? Glibc and its associated packages are to be downgraded, leading to a massive download off more than 850 packages.

Would be a possible reason.

Which would be: CVE-2023-4911 But mind it is only a guess, I did not investigate or whatever.

This is not a downgrade. Previously there was emergency fix for glibc via update repository. Now the same fix comes via the regular Tumbleweed repository. Release numbers between two projects are independent, so the one in update repository happened to be higher. If I interpret OBS job history correctly, the massive upgrade was the consequence of glibc change.
