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 to leak host environment variables into the container (CVE-2026-57231). These flaws could lead to unauthorized access to host environment data and potential container escape scenarios. The update fixes these issues to improve container security.
