FreeBSD : podman -- vulnerabilities (050e54b4-b81e-11f1-b540-589cfc10a551)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 349791

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 050e54b4-b81e-11f1-b540-589cfc10a551 advisory.

 The Podman developers report:
 This release addresses (CVE-2025-11395), where importing images containing crafted layer tarballs with the podman load command, or importing volumes containing crafted symlinks with podman volume import, allows overwriting files on the host.
 This release also addresses CVE-2026-79699 and CVE-2026-79705, though we do not believe these CVEs are exploitable through the Podman command line.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
