patch available.

  - Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. An issue in versions prior to 6.0.6 and 6.19.0
    affects any Incus user in an environment where an unprivileged user may have root access to a container
    with an attached custom storage volume that has the `security.shifted` property set to `true` as well as
    access to the host as an unprivileged user. The most common case for this would be systems using `incus-
    user` with the less privileged `incus` group to provide unprivileged users with an isolated restricted
    access to Incus. Such users may be able to create a custom storage volume with the necessary property
    (depending on kernel and filesystem support) and can then write a setuid binary from within the container
    which can be executed as an unprivileged user on the host to gain root privileges. A patch for this issue
    is expected in versions 6.0.6 and 6.19.0. As a workaround, permissions can be manually restricted until a
    patched version of Incus is deployed. (CVE-2025-64507)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
