SCA: security update for github.com/lxc/incus/v6 (GHSA-56mx-8g9f-5crf)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439451

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. 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)

Solution

Update the github.com/lxc/incus/v6 library and its related packages to version 6.19.0 or later.
