Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'lxc'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
USN-2753-1 fixed a vulnerability in LXC.
The update caused a regression that prevented some containers from starting. This
regression only affected containers that had a path that contained a '/./' directory
specified as a bind mount target in their configuration file. This
update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

attacker with access to an LXC container could exploit this flaw to run
programs inside the container that are not confined by AppArmor or expose
unintended files in the host to the container.

Affected Software/OS:
lxc on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
