Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management in the setuid process when ptrace is used to attach and control the unprivileged part of the sandbox setup phase. An attacker can perform unauthorized privileged operations, such as creating overlay mounts, by exploiting this control. This is only exploitable if the application is installed in setuid mode.
