Funny you should say that. The latest virtualization-related CVEs there are actually in KVM -- a trio including two host memory corruptions, which usually enables completely owning the host. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.oss.general/9...

And on the other hand, I don't see any container-related CVEs at all from 2013 in the CVE database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=linux+kernel (The KVM issues I mentioned don't show up yet either, because they're from today.) What vulnerabilities are you referring to?

Maybe you mean kernel vulnerabilities in general, some of which could be usable by a user inside a container. Everyone should stay on top of kernel updates in any event. If you hate the rebooting, Ksplice is free for Ubuntu (and Fedora.)
