How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 lxd to version 2.0.2-0ubuntu1~16.04.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lxd package and not the lxd package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
