Summary

A vulnerability in util-vserver before version 0.30.208-1 and kernel-patch-vserver before 1.9.5.5 and 2.x before 2.3 for Debian GNU/Linux sets a default policy that trusts unknown capabilities, which could allow local users to conduct unauthorized activities.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that a local user could exploit the default policy to escalate privileges or perform unauthorized operations in the virtual environment, potentially breaking container isolation.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update util-vserver to version 0.30.208-1 or later and kernel-patch-vserver to version 1.9.5.5 or later (for 2.x to 2.3 or later) for Debian GNU/Linux.
