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 does not properly set permissions when switching an unprivileged container into privileged mode, which allows local users to access arbitrary world readable paths in the container directory via unspecified vectors.
