LXC CVE-2015-1335 Directory Traversal Vulnerability

LXC is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this issue using directory-traversal characters ('../') to access or read arbitrary files that contain sensitive information or to access files outside of the restricted directory to obtain sensitive information and perform other attacks.
