Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference in the restore process when handling a crafted backup archive containing a valid backup/index.yaml and a malformed legacy backup.yaml file that omits the container section. An attacker can cause the daemon to crash by importing such a backup archive, leading to a nil-pointer dereference during the restore operation. This is only exploitable if the attacker is authenticated and has permission to import instance backups.
