[ Where problems could occur ] This is an upstream patch which is only checking if a pointer is not NULL before dereferencing it. There is no other change in the code apart from this pointer check. There is very minimum chance of any regression due to this change. [ Other Info ] It is now fixed in Plucky. Even though Debian has an updated 1:6.0.2-1, but the issue is still reproducible on Debian. [ Original Bug Description ] lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Release: 24.04 lxc-start --version: 5.0.3 Issue: lxc-execute segfaults when using a shared host rootfs due to a NULL pointer deference. In lxc/src/lxc/conf.c - lines 339 - 344 The call to lxc_storage_prepare detects no rootfs path and returns without calling storage_init In lxc/src/lxc/conf.c - lines 293 - 310 leaving rootfs->storage null. Then dereferencing rootfs->storage->type causes a segfault. Steps to reproduce: 1. use lxc.conf: lxc.uts.name=lxc-test-1 lxc.net.0.type = empty lxc.console.path = none lxc.tty.max = 1 lxc.pty.max = 128 lxc.mount.auto = proc:rw sys cgroup lxc.autodev = 1 2. Run: $ sudo lxc-execute -n lxc-test-1 -f lxc.conf -l TRACE -- ls /dev Segmentation fault I've attached a patch as a possible fix. Running the same example above with the patch applied runs without crashing.
