{"id":"MGASA-2019-0087","summary":"Updated lxc packages fix security vulnerability","details":"LXC allows attackers to overwrite the host LXC binary (and consequently\nobtain host root access) by leveraging the ability to execute a command as\nroot within one of these types of containers: a new container with an\nattacker-controlled image, or an existing container, to which the attacker\npreviously had write access. This occurs because of file-descriptor\nmishandling, related to /proc/self/exe. This attack is only possible with\nprivileged containers since it requires root privilege on the host to\noverwrite the binary.\n","modified":"2026-04-16T04:44:37.931500694Z","published":"2019-02-17T00:31:02Z","upstream":["CVE-2019-5736"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2019-0087.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24350"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/02/11/2"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"lxc","ecosystem":"Mageia:6","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/lxc?arch=source&distro=mageia-6"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.0.8-1.1.mga6"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2019-0087.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
