AI-suggested

Upgrade Incus to version 7.3.0 or later, where this vulnerability is patched. No other mitigations are indicated or necessary once the official fix is applied.

Description

Incus versions prior to 7.3.0 contain a critical vulnerability where improper validation of user-supplied block.create_options in storage volume configuration allows argument injection in the filesystem creation command. This enables a project-scoped user to inject arbitrary arguments into a root-executed binary. The issue is fixed in version 7.3.0.
