Serge provided a patch by e-mail.

Upstream we've got LXC 1.1.3 right around the corner so we can land the patch in git master and then push it to the 1.1 maintenance branch and tag 1.1.3 very soon after. This release will then make it directly to wily and vivid.

For trusty, we'll have to wait for LXC 1.0.8 upstream and that'll take a while longer as I've got a backlog of about 200 patches to go through for the stable branch.

So I guess the best for now is to pick a time where we:
 - Push Serge's fix as a distro patch to all supported releases
 - Push the fix to LXC git master
 - Post to lxc-devel and lxc-users about the security issue
 - Tag LXC 1.1.3 including the fix
 - Continue working on LXC 1.0.8 which will include the fix too

We usually should be able to deal with shorter turnarounds for LXC stable releases, but recently the focus on LXD has made it hard to keep track of all the bugfixes and keep our stable branches in a releasable state. Thankfully I happened to fix that for 1.1 last week, but 1.0 will be a while longer.
