{"id":"CVE-2026-48756","summary":"Incus: CreateCustomVolumeFromBackup nil-pointer dereference on volume_snapshots[*].expires_at (sibling-field variant of GHSA-r7w7)","details":"Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.1.0, `(*backend).CreateCustomVolumeFromBackup` in `internal/server/storage/backend.go` contains an unguarded `*time.Time` dereference on the `ExpiresAt` field of every volume-snapshot entry in an imported custom-volume backup. An authenticated user with `can_create_storage_volumes` permission on any project can crash the `incusd` daemon by uploading a backup tarball whose `volume_snapshots[*].expires_at` field is absent. This is a sibling-field variant of GHSA-r7w7-mmxr-47r9 (CVE-2026-40197). Commit `985a1dedf9f3e7ba729c93b654905ed510de25c2` added `if s == nil` at the top of the loop body, but did not guard the adjacent `*snapshot.ExpiresAt` deref 19 lines later. Every other consumer of `Config.VolumeSnapshots[i].ExpiresAt` in this same file already gates the deref with a nil-check — the asymmetric guard is the bug. Version 7.1.0 contains an updated patch.","aliases":["GHSA-xhqx-mgh3-3h7q","GO-2026-5810"],"modified":"2026-09-01T09:40:53.095463357Z","published":"2026-08-21T14:10:34.151Z","related":["openSUSE-SU-2026:11651-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:21483-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/48xxx/CVE-2026-48756.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-476"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/48xxx/CVE-2026-48756.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/lxc/incus/security/advisories/GHSA-xhqx-mgh3-3h7q"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-48756"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/lxc/incus","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"42da2b16a4c8ed23f7b3bc50d7736d795f9a963a"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"7.1.0"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}}],"versions":["v7.0.0","v6.23.0","v6.22.0","v6.21.0","v6.20.0","v6.19.1","v6.19.0","v6.18.0","v6.17.0","v6.16.0","v6.14.0","v6.15.0","v6.13.0","v6.12.0","v6.11.0","v6.10.1","v6.10.0","v6.9.0","v6.8.0","v6.7.0","v6.6.0","v6.5.0","v6.4.0","v6.3.0","v6.2.0","v6.0.0","v6.1.0","v0.7.0","v0.6.0","v0.5.1","v0.5.0","v0.4.0","v0.3.0","v0.2.0","v0.1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-48756.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P"}]}
