Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 6.23.0, a lack of validation of
 the image fingerprint when downloading from simplestreams image servers opens the door to image cache
 poisoning and under very narrow circumstances exposes other tenants to running attacker controlled images
 rather than the expected one. Version 6.23.0 patches the issue. (CVE-2026-33542)

Update the github.com/lxc/incus/v6/client library and its related packages to version 6.23.0 or later.
