SCA: security update for github.com/containers/buildah (GHSA-49p4-px3h-rq49)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443788

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Buildah is a tool that facilitates building OCI images. From 1.38.1 until 1.43.2 and 1.44.0, TempDirForURL
 in define/types.go does not securely confine Git repository subdirectories to the downloaded build
 context, and downloadToDirectory and stdinToDirectory can follow a Dockerfile symlink left by a partially
 extracted tar archive. A malicious server supplying a Git repository or tar archive can cause files
 outside the build context directory to be included in the context or copied into the build. This issue is
 fixed in versions 1.43.2 and 1.44.0. (CVE-2026-44517)

Solution

Update the github.com/containers/buildah library and its related packages to version 1.43.2 or later.
