How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:10 buildah-tests to version 2:1.43.1-4.0.1.el10_2 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2026-36199.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream buildah-tests package and not the buildah-tests package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil.
