as per redhat's bugzilla (fixes) Will be in upstream releases 1.9.6, 2.0.2, and 2.1.0. CVE-2016-3096 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2016-3096): The create_script function in the lxc_container module in Ansible before 1.9.6-1 and 2.x before 2.0.2.0 allows local users to write to arbitrary files or gain privileges via a symlink attack on (1) /opt/.lxc-attach-script, (2) the archived container in the archive_path directory, or the (3) lxc-attach-script.log or (4) lxc-attach-script.err files in the temporary directory. 2.1.0.0 does not get marked stable. New GLSA request filed. This issue was resolved and addressed in GLSA 201607-14 at https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201607-14 by GLSA coordinator Aaron Bauman (b-man). @maintainer(s), reopening for cleanup. Cleanup is done |
From ${URL} : A vulnerability in lxc_container, ansible module, was found allowing to get root inside the container. The problem is in the create_script function, which tries to write to /opt/.lxc-attach-script inside of the container. If the attacker can write to /opt/.lxc-attach-script before that, he can overwrite arbitrary files or execute commands as root. @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
