cgmanager vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 14.10
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

cgmanager could be made to expose sensitive information or devices to
containers running on the system.

Software Description:
– cgmanager: Central cgroup manager daemon

Details:

Serge Hallyn discovered that cgmanager did not consistently enforce
proper nesting when modifying cgroup properties. A local attacker in a
privileged container could use this to set cgroup values for all cgroups.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
cgmanager 0.32-4ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
cgmanager 0.24-0ubuntu7.1

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
