Description |
The Linux Kernel contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to escape a chroot environment. The issue is triggered when a user attempts to change to a working directory outside a chroot environment in a SMBFS file system using a double backslash, e.g. 'cd ..\\'. It is possible that the flaw may allow unauthorised access to file system resources, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and/or integrity.
