CVE-2026-34177: LXD: VM lowlevel restriction bypass via raw.apparmor and raw.qemu.conf

April 10, 2026

The isVMLowLevelOptionForbidden function in lxd/project/limits/permissions.go is missing raw.apparmor and raw.qemu.conf from its hardcoded forbidden list. A user with can_edit permission on a VM instance in a restricted project can combine these two omissions to bridge the LXD unix socket into the guest VM and gain full cluster administrator access. This bypasses the restricted.virtual-machines.lowlevel=block project restriction, which is the security control specifically designed to prevent raw config injection.
