CVE-2026-123876: Podman: containers-common: containers-common: default seccomp af_vsock/netlink_audit deny rules bypassable via 32-bit truncation
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.15% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: azl3 kubevirt 1.8.4-4 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes; azl3 kubevirt-openvmm 1.9.0-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes; azl3 libcontainers-common 20240213-3 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to azl3 kubevirt 1.8.4-4 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes; azl3 kubevirt-openvmm 1.9.0-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes; azl3 libcontainers-common 20240213-3 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A flaw was found in the default seccomp profile used by Podman via containers-common. Deny rules for AF_VSOCK and NETLINK_AUDIT compared socket arguments with unmasked 64-bit equality. Because the kernel truncates those int arguments to 32 bits, setting upper bits can bypass the deny rules.
