Details

Description(from Ubuntu launchpad [0]):
"Being logged in inside a container that was created with the lxc-sshd template the mount of $rootfs/sbin/init allows to modify the init script of the container. So harm could be done to the host system at the next execution of lxc-start or lxc-create -t sshd. This can be used to gain root access since lxc is likely to be run by root."

Resolution:
upstream patch [1]
