CVE-2025-64507: Incus vulnerable to local privilege escalation through custom storage volumes

November 13, 2025

This 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 unpriivleged user on the host to gain root privileges.
