NVD Description

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

Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.2.0, an arbitrary file write exists in the Incus client when a malicious image server returns a crafted Incus-Image-Hash header. This can lead to arbitrary command execution as root on the server. Version 7.2.0 patches the issue.
