Use the following template to for the 'fedpkg update' request to submit an update for this issue as it contains the top-level parent bug(s) as well as this tracking bug. This will ensure that all associated bugs get updated when new packages are pushed to stable. ===== # bugfix, security, enhancement, newpackage (required) type=security # testing, stable request=testing # Bug numbers: 1234,9876 bugs=1132001,1132002 # Description of your update notes=Security fix for # Enable request automation based on the stable/unstable karma thresholds autokarma=True stable_karma=3 unstable_karma=-3 # Automatically close bugs when this marked as stable close_bugs=True # Suggest that users restart after update suggest_reboot=False ====== Additionally, you may opt to use the bodhi update submission link instead: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/new/?type_=security&bugs=1132001,1132002 Hello thomas.moschny, Could you please fix this soon? (In reply to pjp from comment #2) > Hello thomas.moschny, > > Could you please fix this soon? This has to be fixed upstream. There's already discussion, see: https://lists.linuxcontainers.org/pipermail/lxc-devel/2014-August/010077.html I've also pinged there: https://lists.linuxcontainers.org/pipermail/lxc-devel/2014-August/010121.html I expect this to be fixed in the next major release of LXC. As noted in bug 1132001, it is unclear whether this really qualifies as a security issue. Someone has to manually and willingly create and run a container, and the password can be configured and/or changed after creation of the container.

Right, I think it's more of hardening than a security issue. But still makes sense to have the bug open. It's better to have stronger defaults. Thank you. Hello thomas.moschny, You plan to fix this soon? (In reply to pjp from comment #5) > Hello thomas.moschny, > > You plan to fix this soon? As far as I can see, upstream hasn't fixed this for all templates. This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. (In reply to Thomas Moschny from comment #6) > As far as I can see, upstream hasn't fixed this for all templates. Ie. it is partially fixed for a subset of templates? Are LXC versions in F22/rawhide affected by this issue? If so, we need to move this bug to the affected latest version. If not, I think we could close this with cantfix/wontfix or eol. (In reply to pjp from comment #8) > Are LXC versions in F22/rawhide affected by this issue? Yes. The effort to push upstream for a solution has been renewed, see bug 1132004. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23 This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
