Title: vzctl: Security bypass
Date: January 11, 2017
Bugs: #560522
ID: 201701-30

Synopsis
========
A vulnerability in vzctl might allow attackers to gain control over
ploop containers.
Background
==========
vzctl is a set of control tools for the OpenVZ server virtualization
solution.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 sys-cluster/vzctl < 4.9.4 >= 4.9.4
Description
===========
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.
Impact
======
An attacker with root privileges, in a simfs-based container, could
gain control over ploop-based containers.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All vzctl users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=sys-cluster/vzctl-4.9.4”
