Multiple security issues were discovered in LXD, a system container and virtual machine manager, which could result in a bypass of security restrictions or the execution of arbitrary commands. For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u7.. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-6373-1
Several security issues were fixed in LXD.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8447-2 June 18, 2026 lxd vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in LXD. Software Description: - lxd: Container hypervisor based on LXC Details: USN-8447-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Go Cryptography. This update provides the corresponding updates for Go Cryptography code embedded in LXD for CVE-2026-39830, CVE-2026-39833, CVE-2026-39834, and CVE-2026-42508. Original advisory details: It was discovered that Go Cryptography did not properly handle SSH global request responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-39830) It was discovered that Go Cryptography did not properly verify user presence when using FIDO/U2F security keys. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass user presence verification for hardware security keys. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-39831) It was discovered that Go Cryptography did not properly serialize SSH agent key constraint extensions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass intended key usage restrictions. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-39832) It was discovered that Go Cryptography did not properly enforce the confirm-before-use constraint in the SSH agent keyring. An attacker could possibly use this issue to use SSH keys without the required user confirmation. (CVE-2026-39833) It was discovered that Go Cryptography had an integer overflow when handling large SSH channel writes. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-39834) It wasdiscovered that Go Cryptography did not properly check certificate authority key revocation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certificate authority revocation checks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-42508) It was discovered that Go Cryptography did not properly enforce the source- address critical option for all SSH server callback types. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass source address authorization restrictions. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-46595) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS lxd 3.0.3-0ubuntu1~18.04.2+esm3 Available with Ubuntu Pro Ubuntu 16.04 LTS lxd 2.0.11-0ubuntu1~16.04.4+esm3 Available with Ubuntu Pro In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
