Description

Docker Scout incorrectly assessed base image for PHP as outdated. Additionally Docker Scout's quick fix identifies same old image and new image. As you can see, both the "old" and "new" images are exactly the same (same tag and same SHA256 hash).

old image
php:8.4.6-cli-alpine@sha256:0c005fbcdecc04fe63d21220b0fdb7aba9f14b8bc92646a363a019fd65ca12fc
New image
php:8.4.6-cli-alpine@sha256:0c005fbcdecc04fe63d21220b0fdb7aba9f14b8bc92646a363a019fd65ca12fc
