CVE-2019-5736 13 Apache, Canonical, D2iq and 10 more 19 Mesos, Ubuntu Linux, Dc\/os and 16 more 2026-06-17 9.3 HIGH 8.6 HIGH
runc through 1.0-rc6, as used in Docker before 18.09.2 and other products, allows attackers to overwrite the host runc binary (and consequently obtain host root access) by leveraging the ability to execute a command as root within one of these types of containers: (1) a new container with an attacker-controlled image, or (2) an existing container, to which the attacker previously had write access, that can be attached with docker exec. This occurs because of file-descriptor mishandling, related to /proc/self/exe.
CVE-2018-6556 4 Canonical, Linuxcontainers, Opensuse and 1 more 6 Ubuntu Linux, Lxc, Leap and 3 more 2026-06-17 2.1 LOW 3.3 LOW
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. It may also be used to trigger side effects by causing a (read-only) open of special kernel files (ptmx, proc, sys). Affected releases are LXC: 2.0 versions above and including 2.0.9; 3.0 versions above and including 3.0.0, prior to 3.0.2.
CVE-2017-5985 1 Linuxcontainers 1 Lxc 2026-06-17 2.1 LOW 3.3 LOW
lxc-user-nic in Linux Containers (LXC) allows local users with a lxc-usernet allocation to create network interfaces on the host and choose the name of those interfaces by leveraging lack of netns ownership check.
CVE-2017-18641 1 Linuxcontainers 1 Lxc 2026-06-17 9.3 HIGH 8.1 HIGH
In LXC 2.0, many template scripts download code over cleartext HTTP, and omit a digital-signature check, before running it to bootstrap containers.
CVE-2016-8649 1 Linuxcontainers 1 Lxc 2026-06-17 9.0 HIGH 9.1 CRITICAL
lxc-attach in LXC before 1.0.9 and 2.x before 2.0.6 allows an attacker inside of an unprivileged container to use an inherited file descriptor, of the host's /proc, to access the rest of the host's filesystem via the openat() family of syscalls.
CVE-2016-10124 1 Linuxcontainers 1 Lxc 2026-06-17 5.0 MEDIUM 8.6 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Linux Containers (LXC) before 2016-02-22. When executing a program via lxc-attach, the nonpriv session can escape to the parent session by using the TIOCSTI ioctl to push characters into the terminal's input buffer, allowing an attacker to escape the container.
CVE-2015-1340 1 Linuxcontainers 1 Lxd 2026-06-17 6.8 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
LXD before version 0.19-0ubuntu5 doUidshiftIntoContainer() has an unsafe Chmod() call that races against the stat in the Filepath.Walk() function. A symbolic link created in that window could cause any file on the system to have any mode of the attacker's choice.
CVE-2015-1335 2 Canonical, Linuxcontainers 2 Ubuntu Linux, Lxc 2026-06-17 7.2 HIGH N/A
lxc-start in lxc before 1.0.8 and 1.1.x before 1.1.4 allows local container administrators to escape AppArmor confinement via a symlink attack on a (1) mount target or (2) bind mount source.
CVE-2015-1334 1 Linuxcontainers 1 Lxc 2026-06-17 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
attach.c in LXC 1.1.2 and earlier uses the proc filesystem in a container, which allows local container users to escape AppArmor or SELinux confinement by mounting a proc filesystem with a crafted (1) AppArmor profile or (2) SELinux label.
CVE-2015-1331 1 Linuxcontainers 1 Lxc 2026-06-17 4.9 MEDIUM N/A
lxclock.c in LXC 1.1.2 and earlier allows local users to create arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /run/lock/lxc/*.
CVE-2014-1425 2 Canonical, Linuxcontainers 2 Ubuntu Linux, Cgmanager 2026-06-17 2.1 LOW N/A
cmanager 0.32 does not properly enforce nesting when modifying cgroup properties, which allows local users to set cgroup values for all cgroups via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2013-6441 1 Linuxcontainers 1 Lxc 2026-06-17 7.2 HIGH N/A
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.
