Description:
Jan Rekorajski has reported a security issue in Linux-VServer, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with escalated privileges.

The problem is caused by certain context capabilities, which are not limited to the guest-root. This allows users inside the guest to perform certain actions on usually restricted resources.

The security issue is reported for versions 0.09.10 to vs2.0-rc2.
