Hi all,
Podman v5.8.2 is now available. You may view the full details at
https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/tag/v5.8.2
Release Notes:
--------------
### Security
- This release addresses CVE-2026-33414, where the `podman machine init --image` command
when run on Windows using the Hyper-V backend can run Powershell-escaped commands from the
user-specified image path on in a Powershell session on the host
([
GHSA-hc8w-h2mf-hp59](https://github.com/containers/podman/security/adviso...).
### Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where containers with the `unless-stopped` restart policy would not restart
after a reboot when `podman-restart.service` was enabled
([#28152](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/28152)).
- Fixed a bug where setting `Entrypoint=""` in a Quadlet `.container` file did
not clear the container's entrypoint
([#28213](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/28213)).
- Fixed a bug where setting a `HealthCmd` in a Quadlet `.container` file to a command that
included double-quotes (`"`) would result in a nonfunctional healthcheck due to a
parsing issue ([#28409](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/28409)).
- Fixed a bug where FreeBSD systems could panic when inspecting containers created with
the `host` network mode ([#28289](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/28289)).
### API
- Fixed a bug where the Libpod System Check endpoint could perform operations with bad
data after returning a 400 error
([#28350](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/28350)).
- Fixed a bug where the remote attach API for containers (Libpod & Compat) could panic
due to a rare race condition
([#28277](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/28277)).
- Fixed a bug where the Secret Create API could not create functional secrets using the
`shell` driver due to options from the default driver being improperly added.
### Misc
- Updated Buildah to v1.43.1
- Updated the containers/common library to v0.67.1
- Updated the containers/image library to v5.39.2
