   An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata
   is now available.

Description:

   This update for lxc fixes the following issues:

   lxc was updated to 6.0.2:

     The LXC team is pleased to announce the release of LXC 6.0.2! This is
   the second bugfix release for LXC 6.0 which is supported until June 2029.

     As usual this bugfix releases focus on stability and hardening.

     * Some of the highlights for this release are:

       - Reduced log level on some common messages
       - Fix compilation error on aarch64

     * Detailed changelog

       - Remove unused function
       - idmap: Lower logging level of newXidmap tools to INFO
       - Exit 0 when there's no error
       - doc: Fix definitions of get_config_path and set_config_path
       - README: Update security contact
       - fix possible clang compile error in AARCH

   Update to 6.0.1:

     The LXC team is pleased to announce the release of LXC 6.0.1! This is
   the first bugfix release for LXC 6.0 which is supported until June 2029.

     As usual this bugfix releases focus on stability and hardening.

     * Highlights

       - Fixed some build tooling issues
       - Fixed startup failures on system without IPv6 support
       - Updated AppArmor rules to avoid potential warnings

   Update to 6.0.0:

     The LXC team is pleased to announce the release of LXC 6.0 LTS! This is
   the result of two years of work since the LXC 5.0 release and is the sixth
   LTS release for the LXC project. This release will be supported until June
   2029.

     * New multi-call binary¶

       A new tools-multicall=true configuration option can be used to produce
   a single lxc binary which can then have all other lxc-XYZ commands be
   symlinked to. This allows for a massive disk space reduction, particularly
   useful for embedded platforms.

     * Add a set_timeout function to the library

       A new set_timeout function is available on the main lxc_container
   struct and allow for setting a global timeout for interactions with the
   LXC monitor. Prior to this, there was no timeout, leading to potential
   deadlocks as there's also no way to cancel an monitor request. As a result
   of adding this new symbol to the library, we have bumped the liblxc symbol
   version to 1.8.0.

     * LXC bridge now has IPV6 enabled

       The default lxcbr0 bridge now comes with IPv6 enabled by default,
   using an IPv6 ULA subnet. Support for uid/gid selection in lxc-usernsexec
   The lxc-usernsexec tool now has both -u and -g options to control what
   resulting UID and GID (respectively) the user wishes to use (defaulting to
   0/0).

     * Improvements to lxc-checkconfig

       lxc-checkconfig now only shows the version if lxc-start is present
   (rather than failing). Additionally, it's seen a number of other cosmetic
   improvements as well as now listing the maximum number of allowed
   namespaces for every namespace type.

     * Support for squashfs OCI images

       The built-in oci container template can now handle squashfs compressed
   OCI images through the use of atomfs.

     * Switched from systemd's dbus to dbus-1

       LXC now uses libdbus-1 for DBus interactions with systemd rather than
   using libsystemd. The reason for this change is that libdbus-1 is readily
   available for static builds.

     * Removed Upstart support

       Support for the Upstart init system has finally been removed from LXC.
   This shouldn't really affect anyone at this stage and allowed for cleaning
   up some logic and config files from our repository.
