NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lxcfs package and not the lxcfs package as distributed by Debian.

The do_write_pids function in lxcfs.c in LXCFS before 0.12 does not properly check permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges by writing a pid to the tasks file.
