Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Incus, the Go package github.com/lxc/incus/v6/cmd/incusd, is affected in versions before 7.0.0. An authenticated user with access to the storage volume feature can submit a crafted backup archive whose snapshot metadata is empty or truncated, causing an out-of-bounds panic in the restore and migration paths that crashes the daemon. Repeated exploitation can keep Incus offline. Upgrade to version 7.0.0 or later.
