CVE-2016-1582

16
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-1582 describes a vulnerability in LXD versions prior to 2.0.2, affecting Canonical LXD and Ubuntu Linux. This flaw allows local users to access arbitrary world-readable paths within a container's directory when an unprivileged container is switched to privileged mode, due to improper permission settings. Rated with a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium), it has a low attack complexity and requires local access, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage, suggesting a low current threat landscape.
