Agent

Prelude

Released on: 2026-06-03

Security Notes

  • Bumped containerd dependencies to mitigate CVE-2026-46680: github.com/containerd/containerd to v1.7.32 and pinned github.com/containerd/containerd/v2 to v2.0.9 (the EOL v2.1.x line has no fix).

Bug Fixes

  • Use the Docker daemon's /ping endpoint instead of /info to verify connectivity during DockerUtil initialization. Some daemons emit DefaultAddressPools[].Base values in /info that are not valid CIDRs, which fail the strict netip.Prefix decoding introduced by the moby v29 client and previously caused DockerUtil to fail to initialize. This cascaded into the Docker workloadmeta collector and the Docker core check being unavailable, leading to missing container/image tags on metrics and traces from Docker containers.

  • Fix the Agent's Docker integration against Docker daemons that return malformed values in their /info response. The failure was visible in Agent logs as:

    Docker init error: temporary failure in dockerutil, will retry later:
    Error reading remote info: netip.ParsePrefix("invalid Prefix"): no '/'
    

    When triggered, it prevented the Docker integration from initializing, which cascaded into:

    • missing container and image tags on metrics, traces and logs collected from Docker containers,
    • missing docker_version and docker_swarm entries in host metadata,
    • missing docker_swarm_node_role host tag on Docker Swarm nodes,
    • in containerized deployments without an explicit DD_HOSTNAME, the Agent could refuse to start because the Docker hostname provider could no longer determine a hostname.
  • Add the macOS hardened-runtime Location Services entitlement (com.apple.security.personal-information.location) to signed Agent binaries in order to trigger the system location permission prompt properly.
