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, a malicious image containing a metadata.yaml symlink pointing to an arbitrary host path allows an authenticated Incus user to read or overwrite any file on the host as root via the instance metadata API. The exec-output and templates/ paths were patched in a prior release using Lstat rejection and os.OpenRoot confinement; metadata.yaml was not included in either patch and remains exploitable. Version 7.3.0 patches the issue.
