Can you explain the security issues in detail? Breaking common
userspace like libvirt-lxc with just a little bit of handwaiving is
entirely unacceptable.
It looks like commit 87b47932f40a11280584bce260cbdb3b5f9e8b7d in
git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git for-next
unbreaks libvirt-lxc.
I hope it hits Linus tree and -stable before the offending commit hits users.
Thanks,
