root_cause: |
|
|
28
|
+
containerd v2.2.0+ (built with Go 1.24) introduced stricter path validation via Go 1.24's
|
|
29
|
+
`os.Root` API. When Docker starts or runs a health check on a container whose image has
|
|
30
|
+
`/etc/passwd` or `/etc/group` symlinked to an **absolute path** (e.g., NixOS images where
|
|
31
|
+
`/etc/passwd → /nix/store/.../passwd`), containerd misinterprets the symlink target as
|
|
32
|
+
escaping the container root filesystem and raises:
|
|
33
|
+
`openat etc/passwd: path escapes from parent`.
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
**Affected container images:**
|
|
36
|
+
- **NixOS-based images** (e.g., `nixos/nix:latest`) — `/etc/passwd → /nix/store/.../passwd`
|
|
37
|
+
- **ngrok container images** — use absolute symlinks for system files
|
|
38
|
+
- **Android emulator images** — `/etc` itself may be an absolute symlink to `/system/etc`
|
|
39
|
+
- Any image where the symlink target for `/etc/passwd` or `/etc/group` starts with `/`
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
**Impact on GitHub Actions workflows:**
|
|
42
|
+
1. Service containers with HEALTHCHECK definitions fail with `ExitCode: -1` even when the
|
|
43
|
+
service is actually running correctly
|
|
44
|
+
2. Container jobs (`container: image: nixos/nix:latest`) fail at startup before any steps run
|
|
45
|
+
3. Docker `run` steps using affected images fail with `path escapes from parent` in logs
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+
**Status on GitHub-hosted runners:**
|
|
48
|
+
- **Windows runners** (windows-2022, windows-2025, windows-11-arm64): containerd v2.2.x
|
|
49
|
+
shipped with Docker 29 on February 9, 2026 — **currently affected**
|
|
50
|
+
- **Ubuntu runners**: containerd v2.2.x deployed February 9, 2026 then **rolled back on
|
|
51
|
+
February 20, 2026** due to this and related issues (runner-images#13682, #13684, #13691);
|
|
52
|
+
tracked for re-deployment in runner-images#14105
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
A partial fix was merged in containerd v2.2.2 (commit 85b5418e) addressing the case where
|
|
55
|
+
`/etc/passwd` itself is a direct absolute symlink. However, the case where an **intermediate
|
|
56
|
+
directory** (e.g., `/etc` is an absolute symlink to `/system/etc`) remains broken and open
|
|
57
|
+
in containerd#13382 as of May 2026.

|
|
61
|
+
fix: |
|
|
62
|
+
**Option 1 — Convert absolute symlinks to relative in a pre-step (most portable fix):**
|
|
63
|
+
Add a step before any Docker operations that resolves absolute `/etc/passwd` and
|
|
64
|
+
`/etc/group` symlinks to relative equivalents inside the container. This approach works
|
|
65
|
+
even when you cannot modify the container image.
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
**Option 2 — Build a derived image with relative symlinks:**
|
|
68
|
+
Create a `Dockerfile` that `FROM` the affected image and replaces the absolute symlinks
|
|
69
|
+
with relative ones. This is the most reliable long-term fix when you own the workflow.
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
**Option 3 — Use an alternative image without absolute symlinks:**
|
|
72
|
+
Standard Ubuntu, Debian, and Alpine images use regular files (not symlinks) for
|
|
73
|
+
`/etc/passwd` and `/etc/group` — they are unaffected. If the workflow can use a
|
|
74
|
+
different base image, this sidesteps the issue entirely.
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
**Option 4 — Pin containerd to v2.1.x on self-hosted runners:**
|
|
77
|
+
On self-hosted runners where you control Docker/containerd versions, remain on
|
|
78
|
+
containerd v1.7.x or v2.1.x until containerd v2.2.3+ resolves all absolute symlink cases.

root_cause: |
|

25
|
+
Docker Engine v29.0 (released November 2025) raised the **minimum supported Docker daemon
|
|
26
|
+
API version from 1.24 to 1.44**. Any Docker SDK client that negotiates API version 1.43 or
|
|
27
|
+
lower receives:
|
|
28
|
+
`"Error response from daemon: client version 1.41 is too old. Minimum supported API version
|
|
29
|
+
is 1.44, please upgrade your client to a newer version"`.
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
**API version 1.44 corresponds to Docker Engine 23.0**. Any SDK client built against Docker
|
|
32
|
+
< 23.0 will fail when the daemon is Docker Engine v29+.

February 9, 2026 — **currently affected on Windows workflows**
|
|
37
|

- **Ubuntu runners**: Docker 29.x rolled back February 20, 2026 due to related issues

**Affected tools and workflows:**
|
|
41
|
+
- Python `docker` library ≤ 6.1.3 (negotiates API 1.41 by default) — upgrade to ≥ 7.0.0
|
|
42
|
+
- `google/oss-fuzz` CIFuzz action — uses internal Python docker client negotiating API 1.41;
|
|
43
|
+
affected every project using `google/oss-fuzz/infra/cifuzz/actions/build_fuzzers@master`
|
|
44
|
+
- Go `github.com/docker/docker/client` packages pinned to Docker < 23.0 API
|
|
45
|
+
- Any workflow tool, action, or custom script that embeds its own Docker SDK rather than
|
|
46
|
+
invoking the CLI `docker` command

fix: |
|
|
55
|
+
**Option 1 — Upgrade Python docker library to ≥ 7.0.0:**
|
|
56
|
+
The most common case. Python docker SDK ≥ 7.0.0 negotiates API 1.47+ which is compatible
|
|
57
|
+
with Docker Engine 29.
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
**Option 2 — Use the Docker CLI instead of SDK calls:**
|
|
60
|
+
Replace Python/Go SDK calls with `docker build`, `docker run`, etc. via `run:` steps. The
|
|
61
|
+
Docker CLI always negotiates the correct API version with the daemon automatically.
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
**Option 3 — Set DOCKER_API_VERSION environment variable:**
|
|
64
|
+
Some SDKs honor `DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.44` as an override. However this only works if the
|
|
65
|
+
SDK actually implements the 1.44 protocol — just setting the env var won't upgrade an
|
|
66
|
+
SDK that doesn't support 1.44.
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
**Option 4 — Pin the affected tool to an updated version:**
|
|
69
|
+
For CIFuzz: the fix was deployed to `google/oss-fuzz` within hours of the issue being
|
|
70
|
+
reported. Pin `@master` to get the fix, or wait for a tagged release. For any other
|
|
71
|
+
action/tool embedding Docker SDK, check for an updated release that bumps the SDK.

|
|
26
|
+
root_cause: |
|
|
27
|
+
On `macos-26` and `macos-26-arm64` runners, Xcode applications are installed with their
|
|
28
|
+
**full version number including patch** in the directory name:
|
|
29
|
+
- `Xcode_26.0.1.app` — NOT `Xcode_26.0.app`
|
|
30
|
+
- `Xcode_26.2.app`
|
|
31
|
+
- `Xcode_26.4.1.app` — NOT `Xcode_26.4.app`
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
Workflows that hardcode `/Applications/Xcode_26.0.app` in `xcode-select --switch` or in
|
|
34
|
+
`DEVELOPER_DIR` environment variables fail immediately because the path does not exist.
|
|
35
|
+
No backward-compatible symlink (`Xcode_26.0.app → Xcode_26.0.1.app`) is created.
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
**Why this changed:** Starting with Xcode 26, Apple's versioning scheme includes a patch
|
|
38
|
+
component (major.minor.patch) that is reflected in the installed application directory name
|
|
39
|
+
when the patch is non-zero. This differs from Xcode 16 and earlier where the directory name
|
|
40
|
+
omitted the patch (e.g., `Xcode_16.4.app` is actually Xcode 16.4.0).
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
**Note on the "26.0" naming gap:** The first generally-available Xcode for macOS 26 was
|
|
43
|
+
Xcode 26.0.1 (not 26.0.0). This means `Xcode_26.0.app` was never installed — the runner
|
|
44
|
+
image went straight from having no Xcode 26 to having `Xcode_26.0.1.app`.

|
|
47
|
+
fix: |
|
|
48
|
+
**Option 1 — Use maxim-lobanov/setup-xcode action (recommended):**
|
|
49
|
+
This action resolves Xcode paths dynamically from the runner's installed versions and
|
|
50
|
+
handles the naming scheme automatically. Specify an exact version like `'26.0.1'` or
|
|
51
|
+
`'latest-stable'`.
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
**Option 2 — Hardcode the full version including patch:**
|
|
54
|
+
Replace `Xcode_26.0.app` with `Xcode_26.0.1.app`. Always check the runner image Readme
|
|
55
|
+
for the exact installed filename before pinning.
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
**Option 3 — List available versions at runtime:**
|
|
58
|
+
Add a discovery step that lists `/Applications/Xcode*.app/` and uses the result to
|
|
59
|
+
select the correct version dynamically.

On April 1, 2026, GitHub merged runner-images PR #13875 which moved Xcode 26.4 from Release
|
|
29
|
+
Candidate to GA on `macos-26` and `macos-26-arm64` runner images. As part of this change:
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
- **Added:** iOS 26.4, watchOS 26.4, tvOS 26.4, visionOS 26.4 simulator runtimes
|
|
32
|
+
- **Removed:** iOS 26.0.1, watchOS 26.0.1, tvOS 26.0.1, visionOS 26.0.1 simulator runtimes
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
GitHub Actions images support **at most three runtime sets per Xcode** due to disk space
|
|
35
|
+
constraints (documented in macos-15-xcode-simulator-sdk-policy.yml). When a new runtime set
|
|
36
|
+
is added, the oldest is removed.
|
|
37
|
+
|
|
38
|
+
**Affected workflows:**
|
|
39
|
+
- Workflows that pin `OS:26.0` in xcodebuild `-destination` strings (e.g.,
|
|
40
|
+
`-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16,OS=26.0'`)
|
|
41
|
+
- Workflows using `xcrun simctl list runtimes` that previously found `iOS 26.0` and now
|
|
42
|
+
find only `iOS 26.2` and `iOS 26.4` (or later versions)
|
|
43
|
+
- `fastlane scan` or similar tools configured with a hardcoded iOS 26.0 simulator target
|
|
44
|
+
- Any tooling that generates test matrices including `iOS 26.0` destinations
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
Simulator runtimes **currently available** on macos-26 after the April 1 change:
|
|
47
|
+
- iOS 26.2 + watchOS 26.2 + tvOS 26.2 + visionOS 26.2
|
|
48
|
+
- iOS 26.4 + watchOS 26.4 + tvOS 26.4 + visionOS 26.4
|
|
49
|
+
(The exact installed runtimes change with each Xcode GA deployment. Always check the runner
|
|
50
|
+
image Readme for the current set.)

|
|
53
|
+
fix: |
|
|
54
|
+
**Option 1 — Update destination to use an available runtime version:**
|
|
55
|
+
Replace `OS:26.0` with `OS:26.4` (or `latest-available`) in xcodebuild destination strings.
|
|
56
|
+
Pin to a specific available version to avoid future breakage.
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
**Option 2 — Use `latest-available` as the OS version:**
|
|
59
|
+
Some xcodebuild invocations accept `OS:latest-available` as the OS specifier, which picks
|
|
60
|
+
the newest installed runtime matching the platform. This avoids hard-coding a version.
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
**Option 3 — Use the maxim-lobanov/setup-ios-simulator action:**
|
|
63
|
+
This action can download and install a specific simulator runtime on demand, decoupling
|
|
64
|
+
your workflow from what is pre-installed on the runner image.
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
**Option 4 — Query available runtimes at runtime and select dynamically:**
|
|
67
|
+
Use `xcrun simctl list runtimes` to discover what is installed before running tests, then
|
|
68
|
+
construct the `-destination` argument from the actual available runtimes.

prevention:

|

- 'Never hardcode specific iOS/watchOS/tvOS simulator runtime version numbers in xcodebuild destination strings — use OS:latest-available or dynamically query installed runtimes.'
|
|
127
|
+
- 'Check the macOS runner image Readme before each Xcode GA update to verify which simulator runtime sets are installed: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/macos/macos-26-arm64-Readme.md'
|
|
128
|
+
- 'Subscribe to runner-images announcements and PRs that add new Xcode GA versions — they always remove the oldest simulator runtime set.'
|
|
129
|
+
- 'If you need to test against a specific older runtime, use maxim-lobanov/setup-ios-simulator to download it on demand rather than relying on pre-installed runtimes.'
