Version 5.8.6+ds1-2 of podman is marked for autoremoval from testing on Tue 17 Nov 2026. It is affected by #1149955. The removal of podman will also cause the removal of (transitive) reverse dependencies: cockpit-podman, debcraft, distrobox, ectrans, eztrace, ggml, gloo-rocm, golang-github-containers-toolbox, groonga, groonga-normalizer-mysql, hipblas, hipcub, libjjml-java, llama.cpp, llama.vim, pkg-rocm-tools, rocblas, rocfft, rocprim, rocsolver, rocsparse, rocthrust, rust-repro-env, starpu, whisper.cpp. You should try to prevent the removal by fixing these RC bugs.

5 security issues in trixie high

There are 5 open security issues in trixie.

4 important issues:
  • CVE-2025-11395: A flaw was found in Podman. If an attacker can pass a crafted tar archive to the `podman load` command, they can create files on the host machine with the privileges of the user running Podman.
  • CVE-2026-55686: Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 3.0.0 until 5.7.1, running a malicious container image where the WORKDIR path contains a symlink can create a directory or modify ownership on the host filesystem. Modified ownership is less likely to happen as that requires help from an untrusted/malicious process that mutates the host filesystem tree during dereferencing of the WORKDIR path, to trigger a race condition. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.7.1.
  • CVE-2026-57231: Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 1.8.1 until 5.8.4, a container image that contains a environment variable with just a key and no value can trick podman into passing that variable from the host into the container. This is made worse by the fact that using an asterisk (*) will cause podman to pass all host variables into the container. So essentially a malicious image can exfiltrate all podman environment variables that are set in the session from where the container is launched. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.8.4 and 6.0.0.
  • CVE-2026-94603:
1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2025-9566: (needs triaging) There's a vulnerability in podman where an attacker may use the kube play command to overwrite host files when the kube file container a Secrete or a ConfigMap volume mount and such volume contains a symbolic link to a host file path. In a successful attack, the attacker can only control the target file to be overwritten but not the content to be written into the file. Binary-Affected: podman Upstream-version-introduced: v4.0.0 Upstream-version-fixed: v5.6.1

You can find information about how to handle this issue in the security team's documentation.

The VCS repository is not up to date, push the missing commits. high
vcswatch reports that the current version of the package is not in its VCS.
Either you need to push your commits and/or your tags, or the information about the package's VCS are out of date. A common cause of the latter issue when using the Git VCS is not specifying the correct branch when the packaging is not in the default one (remote HEAD branch), which is usually "master" but can be modified in salsa.debian.org in the project's general settings with the "Default Branch" field). Alternatively the Vcs-Git field in debian/control can contain a "-b <branch-name>" suffix to indicate what branch is used for the Debian packaging.
