According to vserver developers, "vserver enter" is not intended to be safe
for compromised guests and can easily be used to escape to the host (POC
code available on request). It should be stated in the man pages
accordingly, that the tool must not be used in such cases.

Apart from that "vserver enter" (quite likely also "vserver start"and
possibly other commands) are not intended to protect from hijacking of the
host admin's tty, thus allowing evil guests to inject arbitrary commands
into the tty . Depending on guest distribution, this will even work from
unprivileged guest user, e.g. postgres. Hence man pages should note also
that any call methods preserving the host's interactive shell tty context
making them available to the guest must not be invoked on untrusted guests
to avoid compromise of the host.
