[Bug 1244635] Re: setuid executables in a container may compromise security on the host

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package lxc - 0.8.0~rc1-4ubuntu39.12.10.5

---------------
lxc (0.8.0~rc1-4ubuntu39.12.10.5) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  * add mkdir before chown of /var/{lib,cache}/lxc to avoid build
failure.

lxc (0.8.0~rc1-4ubuntu39.12.10.4) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/rules and debian/lxc.postinst: set /var/lib/lxc and /var/cache/lxc
    to be perms 700.  That prevents unprivileged users from running setuid-root
    applications.  Install that way by default, and for any previous versions,
    update the permissions.  After this version, respect the user's choice.
    (LP: #1244635)
  * 0312-ubuntu-Improper-pty-permissions.patch: fix permissions with which
    devpts is mounted in containers.  (LP: #1242913)
