Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Untrusted Search Path in the chroot process when the --userspec option is used. An attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution as root by injecting a malicious NSS module into a writable NEWROOT directory, which is then loaded by the Name Service Switch (NSS) mechanism before privileges are dropped. This can result in a full container escape or privilege escalation. This is only exploitable if the new root directory is attacker-writable and the system uses glibc-based NSS.
