GHSA-x9qq-236j-gj97: Canonical LXD documentation improvement to make clear restricted.devices.disk=allow without restricted.devices.disk.paths also allows shift=true

December 5, 2023 (updated January 30, 2025)

If a user has restricted access to a project that is configured with restricted=true, they can gain root access on the system by creating a disk device with shift=true and creating a setuid root executable. This is possible because the shift property is not restricted unless restricted.devices.disk.paths is set.
