Comment 1 Dave Dykstra 2026-06-30 19:51:36 UTC
Attacker-controlled container images are outside of the Apptainer thread model, so this vulnerability is not applicable.  There are many easier, straightforward attacks that can be done if a container image is not trusted.

thread -> threat

Comment 3 Dave Dykstra 2026-06-30 19:57:43 UTC
In addition, the flaw is in moby/moby/daemon, and apptainer doesn't even use that part of moby.
