cgmanager vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 14.10
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
cgmanager could be made to expose sensitive information or devices to
containers running on the system.
Software Description:
- cgmanager: Central cgroup manager daemon
Details:
Serge Hallyn discovered that cgmanager did not consistently enforce
proper nesting when modifying cgroup properties. A local attacker in a
privileged container could use this to set cgroup values for all cgroups.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.10:
cgmanager 0.32-4ubuntu1.1
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
cgmanager 0.24-0ubuntu7.1
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
