"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-30
(vzctl: Security bypass)

    It was discovered that vzctl determined the virtual environment (VE)
      layout based on the presence of root.hdd/DiskDescriptor.xml in the VE
      private directory.  This allows local simfs container (CT) root users to
      change the root password for arbitrary ploop containers.  This is
      demonstrated by a symlink attack on the ploop container root.hdd file
      which can then be used to access a control panel.
  
Impact :

    An attacker with root privileges, in a simfs-based container, could gain
      control over ploop-based containers.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
