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 7.3.0, improper validation of user-provided block.create_options in storage volume configuration leads to argument injection in the constructed filesystem creation command line. This allows a project-scoped user to inject arbitrary arguments into the binary executed as root. Version 7.3.0 patches the issue.
