We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 Roman Fiedler discovered a directory traversal flaw in lxc-start. A local
 attacker with access to an LXC container could exploit this flaw to run
 programs inside the container that are not confined by AppArmor or expose
 unintended files in the host to the container.");
