GHSA-Q9VP-3WCG-8P4X Incus vulnerable to local privilege escalation through VM screenshot path

Summary Incus provides an API to retrieve VM screenshots, that API relies on the use of a temporary file for QEMU to write the screenshot to which is then picked up and sent to the user prior to deletion. As Incus uses predictable paths under /tmp for this, an attacker with local access to the...

UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to UNIX Symbolic Link Symlink Following through the use of a predictable temporary file path in the screenshot handling process. An attacker can cause truncation and ownership changes of arbitrary files by pre-placing symlinks in the /tmp...
