<title>vzctl: Security bypass</title>
<synopsis>A vulnerability in vzctl might allow attackers to gain control over
ploop containers.

<affected>

<background>
<p>vzctl is a set of control tools for the OpenVZ server virtualization
solution.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>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 users to
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.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>An attacker with root privileges, in a simfs-based container, could gain
control over ploop-based containers.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All vzctl users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-cluster/vzctl-4.9.4"
</code>
</resolution>
