+Subject: [PATCH] Patching an incoming CVE (CVE-2022-47952)
+
+lxc-user-nic in lxc through 5.0.1 is installed setuid root, and may
+allow local users to infer whether any file exists, even within a
+protected directory tree, because "Failed to open" often indicates
+that a file does not exist, whereas "does not refer to a network
+namespace path" often indicates that a file exists. NOTE: this is
+different from CVE-2018-6556 because the CVE-2018-6556 fix design was
+based on the premise that "we will report back to the user that the
+open() failed but the user has no way of knowing why it failed";
+however, in many realistic cases, there are no plausible reasons for
+failing except that the file does not exist.
+
+PoC:
+> % ls /l
+> ls: cannot open directory '/l': Permission denied
+> % /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/lxc-user-nic delete lol lol /l/h/tt h h
+> cmd/lxc_user_nic.c: 1096: main: Failed to open "/l/h/tt" <----- file does not exist.
+> % /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/lxc-user-nic delete lol lol /l/h/t h h
+> cmd/lxc_user_nic.c: 1101: main: Path "/l/h/t" does not refer to a network namespace path <---- file exist!
