CRITICAL 10.0EPSS 3.27%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.27%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The bubblewrap sandbox of WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit, prior to 2.28.3, failed to properly block access to CLONE_NEWUSER and the TIOCSTI ioctl. CLONE_NEWUSER could potentially be used to confuse xdg-desktop-portal, which allows access outside the sandbox. TIOCSTI can be used to directly execute commands outside the sandbox by writing to the controlling terminal's input buffer, similar to CVE-2017-5226.
