Libvirt Security Notice: LSN-2013-0018
======================================
Summary: Unsafe usage of paths under /proc/$PID/root by the
LXC driver
Reported on: 20131217
Published on: 20131217
Fixed on: 20140219
Reported by: Reco <recoverym4n(a)gmail.com>
Patched by: Reco <recoverym4n(a)gmail.com>,

See also: CVE-2013-6456, debian bug #732394
Description
-----------
The LXC driver will open paths under /proc/$PID/root for some
operations it performs on running guests. For the virDomainShutdown
and virDomainReboot APIs it will use this to access the /dev/initctl
path in the container. For the virDomainDeviceAttach /
virDomainDeviceDettach APIs it will use this to create device nodes
in the container's /dev filesystem. If any of the path components
under control of the container are symlinks the container can cause
the libvirtd daemon to access the incorrect files.
Impact
------
A container can cause the administrator to shutdown or reboot the
host OS if /dev/initctl in the container is made to be an absolute
symlink back to itself or /run/initctl. A container can cause the
host administrator to mknod in an arbitrary host directory when
invoking the virDomainDeviceAttach API by replacing '/dev' with an
absolute symlink. A container can cause the host administrator to
delete host device when invoking the virDomainDeviceDettach API by
replacing '/dev' with an absolute symlink.
Workaround
----------
Do not use the virDomainShutdown or virDomainReboot APIs without
also passing the VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_SIGNAL or
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_SIGNAL flags respectively. These will cause the
LXC driver to send a SIGTERM or SIGHUP signal respectively, to the
init process instead of using /dev/initct.. Do not use the
virDomainDeviceAttach or virDomainDeviceDetach APIs at all unless
the guest OS is trusted.
