Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free via the MemoryFile process. An attacker can execute arbitrary code in the host sentry process by triggering a double-free condition from an in-sandbox overlay filesystem. This is only exploitable if the attacker has standard container privileges within the affected environment. The sentry process remains confined by host-level Linux seccomp and namespace boundaries.
