Current thought is that we could statvfs the resulting path to make sure that the filesystem is nsfs and not even attempt an open if it's not the case.

This will be handled as a medium priority security issue on the LXC side, so we will be issuing patches for affected releases (LXC 2.0 and LXC 3.0 appear affected) and will publish them in our stable branches and mailing-list when we reach the CRD (TBD at this point).

We will not be issuing emergency tarballs for this though, the fix will simply get rolled into the upcoming LXC 3.0.2 release (assuming the release happens after the CRD), distros should just apply the patch as part of a security update (easier to verify than a full bugfix release).
