Summary

Details

Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.1.0, (*backend).CreateCustomVolumeFromBackup in internal/server/storage/backend.go contains an unguarded *time.Time dereference on the ExpiresAt field of every volume-snapshot entry in an imported custom-volume backup. An authenticated user with can_create_storage_volumes permission on any project can crash the incusd daemon by uploading a backup tarball whose volume_snapshots[*].expires_at field is absent. This is a sibling-field variant of GHSA-r7w7-mmxr-47r9 (CVE-2026-40197). Commit 985a1dedf9f3e7ba729c93b654905ed510de25c2 added if s == nil at the top of the loop body, but did not guard the adjacent *snapshot.ExpiresAt deref 19 lines later. Every other consumer of Config.VolumeSnapshots[i].ExpiresAt in this same file already gates the deref with a nil-check — the asymmetric guard is the bug. Version 7.1.0 contains an updated patch.
