The Go entry for CVE-2026-94603 currently uses github.com/containers/podman for versions >=4.4.0, <5.8.8. The affected releases declare versioned module paths instead, so the record does not match those module identities.

Replace that entry with:

Go module Affected range Fixed release
github.com/containers/podman/v4 >=4.4.0 No v4 fix claimed
github.com/containers/podman/v5 <5.8.8 5.8.8

The module declarations are explicit in the tagged v4.4.0/go.mod, v5.0.0/go.mod, and v5.8.8/go.mod. The maintainer advisory identifies the feature's introduction in v4.4.0 and the fixed v5.8.8 release. The tagged v4 run implementation also contains the checkpoint-image restore dispatch.

introduced: "0" for the v5 module includes its versions before the fixed release, including prereleases; it does not claim that the module existed before its first version. There is no invented v4 fixed release. The existing go.podman.io/podman/v6 entry and all narrative, references, severity and attribution remain unchanged.

Validation: original and proposed records pass the OSV schema; 19 exact-module/range cases cover the v4 introduction, v5 fix and prereleases, unchanged v6 behavior, and unrelated modules. The original misses the actual v4/v5 module keys in the tested examples; the proposal matches them. Preservation and patch-reconstruction checks pass. These are metadata/SemVer checks, not a govulncheck integration run or container exploit reproduction.

This corrects dependency matching for an already public vulnerability. No discovery, product-code fix, score change or advisory credit is claimed. Research and preparation were assisted by Codex.
