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, improper validation of user-provided backup compression algorithm leads to argument injection in the constructed command line. This leads to an arbitrary file write on the host, possibly leading to arbitrary command execution. Version 7.1.0 patches the issue.
