Gentoo GLSA 201701-30 Normal: Vzctl Bypass Threat on Ploop Containers

A vulnerability in vzctl might allow attackers to gain control over ploop containers.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 201701-30 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: vzctl: Security bypass Date: January 11, 2017 Bugs: #560522 ID: 201701-30 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= A vulnerability in vzctl might allow attackers to gain control over ploop containers. Background ========= vzctl is a set of control tools for the OpenVZ server virtualization solution. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 sys-cluster/vzctl < 4.9.4 > = 4.9.4 Description ========== It was discovered that vzctl determined the virtual environment (VE) layout based on the presence of root.hdd/DiskDescriptor.xml in the VE private directory. This allows local simfs container (CT) root usersto change the root password for arbitrary ploop containers. This is demonstrated by a symlink attack on the ploop container root.hdd file which can then be used to access a control panel. Impact ===== An attacker with root privileges, in a simfs-based container, could gain control over ploop-based containers. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All vzctl users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =sys-cluster/vzctl-4.9.4" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2015-6927 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-6927 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201701-30 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users' machines is of utmost importance to us.
