LXD before 2.0.2 uses world-readable permissions for /var/lib/lxd/zfs.img when setting up a loop based ZFS pool, which allows local users to copy and read data from arbitrary containers via unspecified vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1581 is a local data exposure issue in older LXD installations. When LXD created a loop-based ZFS pool, it made /var/lib/lxd/zfs.img world-readable, allowing local users to read container data. This is mainly a risk on shared Linux hosts or systems with untrusted local accounts. Exposure is likely limited to hosts running LXD before 2.0.2 with loop-based ZFS pools and local users present. Internet-facing exposure is not indicated by the provided sources. Treat this as a targeted confidentiality risk for shared LXD hosts, not a broad remote compromise. Prioritize remediation where multiple users have local access or containers hold sensitive data. Mitigation focus: Upgrade LXD to 2.0.2 or a vendor-fixed package.; Follow Ubuntu USN-2988-1 guidance for affected Ubuntu systems.; Review Linux Containers LXD release guidance for fixed versions..
