CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects Canonical LXD versions 4.0 and later on Linux, allowing authenticated clients or malicious migration source servers to exploit improper link resolution during migration. This flaw enables attackers to write files to arbitrary paths on the target host with root privileges, potentially leading to full host compromise. Organizations utilizing LXD for container management should prioritize patching to versions 4.0.14, 5.0.10, 5.21.8, or 6.10 to mitigate this critical risk.

Original NVD Description
Improper link resolution in the migration receive path in Canonical LXD versions 4.0 and later (fixed in 4.0.14, 5.0.10, 5.21.8 and 6.10) on Linux allows an authenticated client that can create instances or custom storage volumes in a project, or a malicious migration source server, to write attacker-controlled files to arbitrary paths on the target host as root, leading to full host compromise. The attacker does this with a crafted rsync or btrfs send stream that plants a symlink in the transferred volume, such as rootfs or root.img, and then writes through it.
