Severity: Low
Title: LinuX Containers user space utilities: Arbitrary file read
Date: August 22, 2018
Bugs: #662780
ID: 201808-02

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Synopsis
========

A vulnerability has been found in LXC which may allow for arbitrary
file access (read-only).

Background
==========

LinuX Containers user space utilities.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-emulation/lxc < 3.0.1-r1 >= 3.0.1-r1

Description
===========

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.

Impact
======

A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to access arbitrary
files, including special device files.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All LXC users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/lxc-3.0.1-r1"

Bugs: #661712
ID: 201808-03

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in NetworkManager VPNC plugin allows local users to
escalate privileges.

controlled executable file.

Impact
======

A local attacker is able to escalate privileges via a specially crafted
configuration file.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All NetworkManager VPNC plugin users should upgrade to the latest
