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.

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 (CVE-2013-6441).

The container framework LXC has been updated to fix various bugs and a security issue:

* CVE-2013-6441: The sshd template allowed privilege escalation on the
  host.
* SLES container time not aligned with host time (bnc#839653)
* SLES container boot takes ages (bnc#839663)
* lxc mounts /dev/pts with wrong options (bnc#869663)

Security Issues:

* CVE-2013-6441
