Description

This security update for Podman addresses two vulnerabilities: a WORKDIR symlink traversal issue (CVE-2026-55686) and a vulnerability where a specially crafted image can cause podman run to leak host environment variables into the container (CVE-2026-57231). Additionally, a non-security issue involving a missing catatonit binary was fixed.
