Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Context Switching Error through the exchange of directory file descriptors between sibling jails using a unix domain socket in environments where a shared directory is accessible via a nullfs mount. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to the full filesystem by receiving a directory descriptor that is below the jail root, thereby bypassing intended restrictions.
