Alpine: multiple incus packages: security update to 7.0.1-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444651

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.2.0, an arbitrary file write
exists in the Incus client when a malicious image server returns a crafted `Incus-Image-Hash` header. This
can lead to arbitrary command execution as root on the server. Version 7.2.0 patches the issue.
(CVE-2026-48769)

- Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.1.0,
`(*backend).CreateInstanceFromBackup` in `internal/server/storage/backend.go` contains a nil-pointer
dereference that an authenticated user with permission to create instances in any project can trigger
remotely by uploading a crafted backup tarball. The Incus daemon panics and the process crashes, causing
denial of service to every project on that cluster member. This is a sibling of `GHSA-fwj8-62r8-8p8m`,
`GHSA-r7w7-mmxr-47r9`, and `GHSA-x5r6-jr56-89pv` (all assigned 2026-05-04). Those patches added guards on
adjacent fields of the same `backup/config.Config` struct; the `Volume` field on the instance-import path
was missed. Version 7.1.0 contains an updated patch. (CVE-2026-47753)

- Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.2.0, a specially crafted image
can be used to read or create/write arbitrary files on the host; possibly leading to arbitrary command
execution. Version 7.2.0 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-48749)

- Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.2.0, the `record-output`
parameter of the `/instances/$name/exec` endpoint stores the output of the command in the `exec-output`
directory of the instance. If `exec-output` is a symlink, file named `exec_UUID.stdout` and
`exec_UUID.stderr` can be written to an arbitrary location where the `.stdout` file will contain arbitrary
content. This behavior can be abused for arbitrary command execution. Version 7.2.0 contains a patch.
(CVE-2026-48750)

- Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.2.0, instance snapshots ignore
the `restricted.containers.lowlevel=block` setting; allowing for arbitrary command execution on the Incus
server by abusing lowlevel hooks such as `raw.lxc` and `raw.qemu`. Version 7.2.0 patches the issue.
(CVE-2026-48751)

Solution

Update the incus library and its related packages to version 7.0.1-r0 or later.
