CVE-2008-2544
The user could bypass the chroot environment and gain write access to files, he would never have otherwise.
MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.31%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.31%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Mounting /proc filesystem via chroot command silently mounts it in read-write mode. The user could bypass the chroot environment and gain write access to files, he would never have otherwise.
