  "description": "A vulnerability in Google Cloud Platform\u0027s guest-oslogin versions between20190304 and 20200507 allows a user that is only granted the role\u0022roles/compute.osLogin\u0022 to escalate privileges to root. Using themembership to the \u0022lxd\u0022 group, an attacker can attach host devices andfilesystems. Within an lxc container, it is possible to attach the host OSfilesystem and modify /etc/sudoers to then gain administrative privileges.All images created after 2020-May-07 (20200507) are fixed, and if youcannot update, we recommend you edit /etc/group/security.conf and removethe \u0022lxd\u0022 user from the OS Login entry.",
