CVE-2025-52889

CVE-2025-52889 · Incus vulnerable to DoS through antispoofing nftables firewall rule bypass on bridge networks with ACLs

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. When using an ACL on a device connected to a bridge, Incus version 6.12 and 6.13 generates nftables rules for local services (DHCP, DNS...) that partially bypass security options `security.mac_filtering`, `security.ipv4_filtering` and `security.ipv6_filtering`. This can lead to DHCP pool exhaustion and opens the door for other attacks. A patch is available at commit 2516fb19ad8428454cb4edfe70c0a5f0dc1da214.
