NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream incus package and not the incus package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.24 relevant fixed versions and status.

Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.1.0, the S3 protocol upload endpoint is vulnerable to path traversal and allows creation of arbitrary files on the host. This behavior could lead to arbitrary command execution. Version 7.1.0 fixes the issue.
