## Overview

During WebDAV Infinite Scale TUS upload creation, a transport failure can return a nil HTTP response along with an error. When handling the failure, rclone dereferences the nil response before checking the error, causing a panic that can crash the process in unrecovered contexts such as VFS mounts.

## Affected packages

- `github.com/rclone/rclone < 1.75.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `github.com/rclone/rclone 1.75.0`
