CVE-2026-40197
Incus nil-pointer dereference in custom volume import allows denial of service
Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. In versions before 7.0.0, missing validation logic in the storage volume import logic allows an authenticated user with access to the storage volume feature to cause the Incus daemon to crash. The custom volume backup import subsystem contains a nil-pointer dereference vulnerability during import operations. In the snapshot import loop, the daemon iterates over entries from srcBackup.Config.VolumeSnapshots and assumes that each slice element is initialized, then dereferences fields such as Name, Config, Description, CreatedAt, and ExpiresAt without first validating the element itself. Because the yaml unmarshaler accepts explicit null array elements from an attacker-controlled index.yaml and converts them into nil pointers inside the slice, an attacker can supply a backup archive containing a null entry in the volume_snapshots array. This causes a nil-pointer dereference during custom volume import and terminates the daemon, resulting in denial of service on the affected node. Repeated use of this issue can be used to keep Incus offline, causing a denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.0.

Incus has a Nil-Pointer Dereference via Custom Volume Import
Summary
Missing validation logic in the storage volume import logic allows an authenticated user with access to Incus' storage volume feature to cause the Incus daemon to crash. Repeated use of this issue can be used to keep Incus offline causing a denial of service.
Details
The custom volume backup import subsystem contains a nil-pointer dereference vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to crash the daemon during import operations.
In the snapshot import loop, the daemon iterates over entries from srcBackup.Config.VolumeSnapshots, which is a slice of pointers. The implementation assumes that each slice element is non-nil and immediately dereferences it through expressions such as snapshot.Name, snapshot.Config, snapshot.Description, snapshot.CreatedAt, and *snapshot.ExpiresAt without first validating that the element itself is initialized.
Because the YAML unmarshaler accepts explicit null array elements from an attacker-controlled index.yaml and converts them into nil pointers inside the slice, an authenticated attacker can supply a backup archive containing a null entry in the volume_snapshots array. This causes the daemon to dereference a nil pointer during custom volume import and terminate, resulting in immediate denial of service on the node.
Affected File: https://github.com/lxc/incus/blob/v6.22.0/internal/server/storage/backend.go
Affected Code:

// Due to a historical bug, the volume snapshot names were sometimes written in their full form
// (<parent>/<snap>) rather than the expected snapshot name only form, so we need to handle both.

fullSnapName := drivers.GetSnapshotVolumeName(srcBackup.Name, snapName)

PoC
The following PoC demonstrates that a crafted custom volume backup archive containing a null entry in volume_snapshots can trigger a nil-pointer dereference during import.
Step 1: Generate the malformed archive
From a client or workstation with shell access, create a custom volume backup archive whose index.yaml contains one physical snapshot directory and a matching volume_snapshots array containing a literal null entry.
