description

Canonical LXD migration receiving is affected by improper resolution of links in transferred instance or custom-volume data. An authenticated client permitted to create project resources, or an untrusted migration source, can cause attacker-selected files to be written on the target host with root privileges. Exposure requires accepting migrations or resource creation from such a principal.

mitigation

Upgrade LXD to 4.0.14, 5.0.10, 5.21.8, 6.9-bf243da, 6.10, or a later applicable release. Until upgraded, permit instance and custom-volume creation and migration only from trusted clients and source servers.

fixed in 4.0.14, 5.0.10, 5.21.8, 6.9-bf243da, 6.10
