podman -- TLS connection used to pull VM images was not validated

Affected versions
- podman < 5.5.2
By system
1 still vulnerable, 1 fixed. Where VuXML applies (FreeBSD, DragonFly, FreeBSD's derivatives) a port is vulnerable while its version is in a range; pkgsrc says itself whether it lists a CVE of this advisory; OpenBSD and MidnightBSD keep no list this site reads, so their row is only an estimate: FreeBSD's ranges applied to upstream's version.
| System | Port | Version | State | Fixed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FreeBSD | sysutils/podman | 5.8.9_2 | fixed | (424 days after) |
| NetBSD | sysutils/podman | 5.0.3nb23 | listed since 2025-06-30 |
