Nil pointer dereference in Infinite Scale TUS uploads in github.com/rclone/rclone

Type: advisorySource: OSV1 source record

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.
