NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lxd package and not the lxd package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

An authorization bypass vulnerability in LXD due to a timing flaw during configuration merging allows an authenticated attacker to bypass target project restrictions during cross-project instance copies. When copying an instance to a target project, LXD performs restriction checks before configuration merging is complete, creating a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) condition. An attacker can exploit this flaw to copy instances with disallowed high-privilege configurations into restricted projects, bypassing security controls.
