Fix

- What I did
updateLayeredOS uses deploy-from-self when skopeo on the host is actually older than 1.22.2 that has an issue
with multi-arch sigstore verification
OCP 4.21 rhel 9.6 --> skopeo 1.18.1
OCP 4.21 rhel 10.2 --> skopeo 1.22.0
- How to verify it

- Description for the changelog

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved layered OS updates by using a safer update path when multi-architecture Sigstore images cannot be handled reliably.
    • Preserved compatibility with systems that lack native container update support.

Walkthrough

updateLayeredOS now uses the privileged container update path when rpm-ostree lacks native container support or skopeo cannot safely process required multi-architecture Sigstore images.

Changes

Layered OS update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Container fallback compatibility
pkg/daemon/update.go
The fallback condition now checks the host’s skopeo version when the target image requires multi-architecture Sigstore support. The log message reports both rpm-ostree and skopeo compatibility.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9dbb2

The update flow can wait indefinitely if the skopeo --version check becomes stuck, delaying updates. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to bound this subprocess with a timeout.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

The pull request expands privileged execution. The changed condition in pkg/daemon/update.go calls InplaceUpdateViaNewContainer when Skopeo cannot support the image. That function runs Podman with --privileged, --pid=host, and --net=host at line 2797. The behavior is therefore newly activated for old Skopeo and multi-architecture images, even though the command itself was pre-existing. No Kubernetes manifest changed.

Resolution

Do not route the new Skopeo compatibility case through InplaceUpdateViaNewContainer, or implement the compatibility update without --privileged, --pid=host, and --net=host. Use only the minimum required capability and namespace access.

Bound the skopeo --version probe.

updateLayeredOS can call skopeoVersionSupportsMultiArchSigstore, which runs exec.Command("skopeo", "--version").CombinedOutput() without a context. A stalled process can block the update indefinitely before isMultiArchImage applies its 30-second timeout. Use exec.CommandContext with a bounded context.Context.
