Incus out-of-bounds panic in snapshot metadata handling allows denial of service

7.1 HighFix available

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 backup restore subsystem contains an out-of-bounds panic vulnerability caused by an invalid bounds check when indexing snapshot metadata arrays, and the same flawed pattern also appears in the migration path. When iterating through physical snapshots provided in a backup archive, the loop uses the index to look up corresponding metadata in the parsed Config.Snapshots and Config.VolumeSnapshots slices. The guard condition len(slice) >= i-1 is incorrect because it can still evaluate to true when the subsequent slice[i] access is out of bounds.

An attacker can submit a backup archive that contains physical snapshot directories while supplying a tampered index.yaml with an empty or truncated snapshot metadata array, causing the daemon to index beyond the end of the metadata slice and crash. 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 Vulnerable to Panic via Snapshot Bounds Check

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 backup restore subsystem contains an out-of-bounds panic vulnerability caused by an invalid bounds check when indexing snapshot metadata arrays. The same flawed pattern also appears in the migration path.

When iterating through physical snapshots provided in a backup archive, the loop uses the index i to look up corresponding metadata in the parsed Config.Snapshots and Config.VolumeSnapshots slices. To ensure that the metadata slice is long enough, the code uses the guard condition len(slice) >= i-1. This check is incorrect because it can still evaluate to true when the subsequent slice[i] access is out of bounds, including when i >= len(slice), triggering a runtime panic.

An attacker can trigger this by submitting a backup archive that contains physical snapshot directories, which drive the loop variable i, while supplying a tampered index.yaml with an empty or truncated snapshot metadata array. This causes the daemon to index beyond the end of the metadata slice and crash, resulting in immediate denial of service on the node.
