CVE-2016-10124 describes a high-severity vulnerability in Linux Containers (LXC) versions prior to 2016-02-22. An attacker can escape a non-privileged container session by manipulating the terminal's input buffer via the TIOCSTI ioctl when executing a program through lxc-attach. This allows for a complete escape from the container, rated with a CVSSv3 score of 8.6 (High) due to its network-accessible, low-complexity attack vector and high impact on integrity. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
