CWE-770

Description

An authorization bypass vulnerability in LXD allows an authenticated user to bypass project-level disk and volume limits. Two related code paths fail to verify resource limits during volume operations: the storagePoolVolumeTypePostMove function omits the limits.AllowVolumeCreation check before moving a volume across projects, and volume snapshot restore operations skip the AllowVolumeUpdate check when the configuration is nil (Config == nil). An attacker can exploit these flaws to allocate storage resources that exceed the administrative limits configured for a project.

Affected configurations

• canonical lxd (>= 5.0.0 < 5.0.8) • canonical lxd (>= 5.1 < 5.21.6) • canonical lxd (>= 6.0 < 6.10)
