Thank you for the report!

I'd rather make it an explicit uint8_t here (because that is the type
for other functions taking the aid as a parameter, e.g.
proxmox_restore_get_image_length()). And to fix the original issue, I'd
use the ret variable to store the result from
proxmox_restore_open_image() and only assign to s->aid after checking
that the returned value is not an error and that it is small enough to
fit into uint8_t.
