Loading an image built with Buildkit in Podman 3.4 messes up its name. The tag somehow becomes the name of the loaded image. We know that older Podman versions are not generally affected, since Podman v3.0.1 on Debian Bullseye works properly. Also, Podman v4.0 is not affected, so it makes sense to target only Podman v3.4 for a fix. The fix is simple, tag the image properly based on the expected tag from `share/image-id.txt` and delete the incorrect tag. Refs containers/podman#16490 |

Dangerzone
Take potentially dangerous PDFs, office documents, or images and convert them to a safe PDF.
 |
 |
|---|
Dangerzone works like this: You give it a document that you don't know if you can trust (for example, an email attachment). Inside of a sandbox, Dangerzone converts the document to a PDF (if it isn't already one), and then converts the PDF into raw pixel data: a huge list of RGB color values for each page. Then, outside of the sandbox, Dangerzone takes this pixel data and converts it back into a PDF.
Read more about Dangerzone in the official site.
Getting started
Follow the instructions for each platform:
Some features
- Sandboxes don't have network access, so if a malicious document can compromise one, it can't phone home
- Sandboxes use gVisor, an application kernel written in Go, that implements a substantial portion of the Linux system call interface.
- Dangerzone can optionally OCR the safe PDFs it creates, so it will have a text layer again
- Dangerzone compresses the safe PDF to reduce file size
- After converting, Dangerzone lets you open the safe PDF in the PDF viewer of your choice, which allows you to open PDFs and office docs in Dangerzone by default so you never accidentally open a dangerous document
Dangerzone can convert these types of document into safe PDFs:
- PDF (
.pdf) - Microsoft Word (
.docx,.doc) - Microsoft Excel (
.xlsx,.xls) - Microsoft PowerPoint (
.pptx,.ppt) - ODF Text (
.odt) - ODF Spreadsheet (
.ods) - ODF Presentation (
.odp) - ODF Graphics (
.odg) - Hancom HWP (Hangul Word Processor) (
.hwp,.hwpx)- Not supported on Qubes OS
- EPUB (
.epub) - Jpeg (
.jpg,.jpeg) - GIF (
.gif) - PNG (
.png) - SVG (
.svg) - other image formats (
.bmp,.pnm,.pbm,.ppm)
Dangerzone was inspired by Qubes trusted PDF, but it works in non-Qubes operating systems. It uses containers as sandboxes instead of virtual machines (using Docker for macOS and Windows, and podman on Linux).

Dangerzone gets updates to improve its features and to fix problems. So, updating may be the simplest path to resolving the issue which brought you here. Here is how to update:
- Check which version of Dangerzone you are currently using: run Dangerzone, then look for a series of numbers to the right of the logo within the app. The format of the numbers will look similar to
0.4.1 - Now find the latest available version of Dangerzone: go to the download page. Look for the version number displayed. The number will be using the same format as in Step 1.
- Is the version on the Dangerzone download page higher than the version of your installed app? Go ahead and update.
