"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1782985538 advisory.
- 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-2026-55686)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
