| CVE | Summary | Source | Max CVSS | EPSS % | Published | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2017-18641 | In LXC 2.0, many template scripts download code over cleartext HTTP, and omit a digital-signature check, before running it to bootstrap containers. | [email protected] | 8.1 | 0.35% | 2020-02-10 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2015-1340 | LXD before version 0.19-0ubuntu5 doUidshiftIntoContainer() has an unsafe Chmod() call that races against the stat in the Filepath.Walk() function. A symbolic link created in that window could cause any file on the system to have any mode of the attacker's choice. | [email protected] | 7.0 | 0.32% | 2019-04-22 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2019-5736 | runc through 1.0-rc6, as used in Docker before 18.09.2 and other products, allows attackers to overwrite the host runc binary (and consequently obtain host root access) by leveraging the ability to execute a command as root within one of these types of containers: (1) a new container with an attacker-controlled image, or (2) an existing container, to which the attacker previously had write access, that can be attached with docker exec. This occurs because of file-descriptor mishandling, related | [email protected] | 8.6 | 59.18% | 2019-02-11 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2018-6556 | lxc-user-nic when asked to delete a network interface will unconditionally open a user provided path. This code path may be used by an unprivileged user to check for the existence of a path which they wouldn't otherwise be able to reach. It may also be used to trigger side effects by causing a (read-only) open of special kernel files (ptmx, proc, sys). Affected releases are LXC: 2.0 versions above and including 2.0.9; 3.0 versions above and including 3.0.0, prior to 3.0.2. | [email protected] | 3.3 | 0.06% | 2018-08-10 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2016-8649 | lxc-attach in LXC before 1.0.9 and 2.x before 2.0.6 allows an attacker inside of an unprivileged container to use an inherited file descriptor, of the host's /proc, to access the rest of the host's filesystem via the openat() family of syscalls. | [email protected] | 9.1 | 2.15% | 2017-05-01 | 2026-05-13 |
| CVE-2017-5985 | lxc-user-nic in Linux Containers (LXC) allows local users with a lxc-usernet allocation to create network interfaces on the host and choose the name of those interfaces by leveraging lack of netns ownership check. | [email protected] | 3.3 | 0.09% | 2017-03-14 | 2026-05-13 |
| CVE-2016-10124 | An issue was discovered in Linux Containers (LXC) before 2016-02-22. When executing a program via lxc-attach, the nonpriv session can escape to the parent session by using the TIOCSTI ioctl to push characters into the terminal's input buffer, allowing an attacker to escape the container. | [email protected] | 8.6 | 0.22% | 2017-01-09 | 2026-05-06 |
| CVE-2015-1335 | lxc-start in lxc before 1.0.8 and 1.1.x before 1.1.4 allows local container administrators to escape AppArmor confinement via a symlink attack on a (1) mount target or (2) bind mount source. | [email protected] | 7.2 | 0.06% | 2015-10-01 | 2026-05-06 |
| CVE-2015-1334 | attach.c in LXC 1.1.2 and earlier uses the proc filesystem in a container, which allows local container users to escape AppArmor or SELinux confinement by mounting a proc filesystem with a crafted (1) AppArmor profile or (2) SELinux label. | [email protected] | 4.6 | 0.10% | 2015-08-12 | 2026-05-06 |
| CVE-2015-1331 | lxclock.c in LXC 1.1.2 and earlier allows local users to create arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /run/lock/lxc/*. | [email protected] | 4.9 | 0.05% | 2015-08-12 | 2026-05-06 |
| CVE-2014-1425 | cmanager 0.32 does not properly enforce nesting when modifying cgroup properties, which allows local users to set cgroup values for all cgroups via unspecified vectors. | [email protected] | 2.1 | 0.13% | 2015-01-07 | 2026-05-06 |
| CVE-2013-6441 | The lxc-sshd template (templates/lxc-sshd.in) in LXC before 1.0.0.beta2 uses read-write permissions when mounting /sbin/init, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the init file. | [email protected] | 7.2 | 0.03% | 2014-02-14 | 2026-04-29 |
