Digest values used throughout this library were not always validated. That allowed attackers to trigger, when pulling untrusted images, unexpected authenticated registry accesses on behalf of a victim user.

In less common uses of this library (using other transports or not using the containers/image/v5/copy.Image API), an attacker could also trigger local path traversals or crashes.

If doing it makes sense at all, it should happen before
the values are used.

... to prevent panics if the value does not contain a :, or other unexpected
values (e.g. a path traversal).

Don't bother on paths where we computed the digest ourselves, or it is already trusted
for other reasons.

Could you help to backport the patch to the branch 5.22 https://github.com/containers/image/tree/release-5.22? Thanks!

@Mingli-001 in this upstream repo, over a year later, I don’t think we would be backporting this to those old branches. If you are a Red Hat customer, please use the standard customer support channels; or similarly for any other vendor.
