Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0167)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'lxc' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0167 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'lxc' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0167 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Roman Fiedler discovered a directory traversal flaw in lxc-attach. An attacker with access to an LXC container could exploit this flaw to access files outside of the container (CVE-2016-8649). Jann Horn discovered that LXC incorrectly verified permissions when creating virtual network interfaces. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to create virtual network interfaces in network namespaces that they do not own (CVE-2017-5985). The lxc package has been updated to version 1.0.10 to fix these issues and other bugs. Affected Software/OS: 'lxc' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 9.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C
