CVE-2021-26910  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-367  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 firejail to version 0.9.62-3ubuntu0.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firejail package and not the firejail package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Firejail before 0.9.64.4 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions because there is a TOCTOU race condition between a stat operation and an OverlayFS mount operation.
