Description
Details for this vulnerability have not been published by NIST at this point. Descriptions from software vendor advisories for this issue are provided below.
From VID-BBA850FD-770E-11EB-B87A-901B0EF719AB:
Problem Description:
When a process, such as jexec(8) or killall(1), calls jail_attach(2)
to enter a jail, the jailed root can attach to it using ptrace(2) before
the current working directory is changed.
Impact:
A process with superuser privileges running inside a jail could change
the root directory outside of the jail, thereby gaining full read and
writing access to all files and directories in the system.
