Incus: CreateCustomVolumeFromBackup nil-pointer dereference on volume_snapshots[*].expires_at (sibling-field variant of GHSA-r7w7)
Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Prior to version 7.1.0, `(*backend).CreateCustomVolumeFromBackup` in `internal/server/storage/backend.go` contains an unguarded `*time.Time` dereference on the `ExpiresAt` field of every volume-snapshot entry in an imported custom-volume backup. An authenticated user with `can_create_storage_volumes` permission on any project can crash the `incusd` daemon by uploading a backup tarball whose `volume_snapshots[*].expires_at` field is absent. This is a sibling-field variant of GHSA-r7w7-mmxr-47r9 (CVE-2026-40197). Commit `985a1dedf9f3e7ba729c93b654905ed510de25c2` added `if s == nil` at the top of the loop body, but did not guard the adjacent `*snapshot.ExpiresAt` deref 19 lines later. Every other consumer of `Config.VolumeSnapshots[i].ExpiresAt` in this same file already gates the deref with a nil-check — the asymmetric guard is the bug. Version 7.1.0 contains an updated patch.
