Official Description
Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.0.0, a missing error handling could lead an authenticated Incus user to cause a daemon crash through the import of a truncated storage bucket backup file. This issue has been patched in version 7.0.0.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-41647 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 6.5.
