LXD before 2.0.2 does not properly set permissions when switching an unprivileged container into privileged mode, which allows local users to access arbitrary world readable paths in the container directory via unspecified vectors.
AnalysisAI
LXD before 2.0.2 does not properly set permissions when switching an unprivileged container into privileged mode, which allows local users to access arbitrary world readable paths in the container. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Exposure of Sensitive Information (CWE-200), which allows attackers to access sensitive data that should not be disclosed. LXD before 2.0.2 does not properly set permissions when switching an unprivileged container into privileged mode, which allows local users to access arbitrary world readable paths in the container directory via unspecified vectors. Affected products include: Canonical Ubuntu Linux, Canonical Lxd. Version information: before 2.0.2.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Minimize information in error messages, implement proper access controls, encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit.
