How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:10 podman-debugsource to version 7:5.8.2-4.el10_2 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2026:37072.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream podman-debugsource package and not the podman-debugsource package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL: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.
