URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0163.html

Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 5
CVE: CVE-2016-3096

Description:
Updated ansible package fixes security vulnerability:

A vulnerability in lxc_container, ansible module, was found allowing to get
root inside the container. The problem is in the create_script function, which
tries to write to /opt/.lxc-attach-script inside of the container. If the
attacker can write to /opt/.lxc-attach-script before that, he can overwrite
arbitrary files or execute commands as root (CVE-2016-3096).
