Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.10

Summary:

LXC would allow unintended access to the host, bypassing intended confinement.

Software Description: - lxc: Linux Containers userspace tools

Details:

Florian Sagar discovered that the LXC sshd template set incorrect mount permissions. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to cause privilege escalation on the host.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 13.10:
lxc-templates 1.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu14.1

After a standard system update you need to recreate LXC containers created with the sshd template to make all the necessary changes.
