CVE-2026-53492

Summary: CVE-2026-53492 affects containerd’s CRI checkpoint restoration, where CDI annotations in untrusted checkpoint metadata are trusted, allowing injection of CDI edits (device nodes/host mounts) into restored containers if CDI is enabled and a matching host CDI spec exists. The issue affects...
