Comment on Containers and Docker: how secure are they?parent

I would love to hear about it

See http://blog.zx2c4.com/749 and http://bit.ly/T9CkqJ

Neither of these exploits works on stock Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, with LXC or otherwise (AppArmor kicks in).

Like jpetazzo, I would love to see a working LXC exploit. In my case, "working" == "can get host root when given container root on Ubuntu 12.04 or later".

The fact is that by the time you know about the "working" exploit it's already been fixed. Unless you're security-related researchers / engineers you're not very likely to get hold of a 0-day exploit.

Thank you so much for the first link! The very same "very black unix domain sockets magic" has been confounding me while reverse engineering a binary. OK, it calls recvmsg and then a wild FD appears from another process!? I had no idea...
