FreeBSD : podman -- vulnerabilities (bb4528f4-c5d4-11f1-8c8c-ac5afc632ba3)

high Nessus Plugin ID 365107

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 a vulnerability as referenced in the bb4528f4-c5d4-11f1-8c8c-ac5afc632ba3 advisory.

The Podman developers report:
This release addresses (CVE-2026-94603), where a podman run on a checkpoint image (any image with the io.podman.annotations.checkpoint.runtime.name annotation) could disable all sandboxing, including sandboxing specified by the user, when the container was created.
Removed support for checkpoint images in podman run due to serious security concerns with the different security models of running images and running checkpoints. Checkpoints ignore user-specified security configuration and are very difficult to run safely.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
