[PATCH review 1/6] vfs: Allow chroot if you have CAP_SYS_CHROOT in your user namespace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Once you are confined to a user namespace applications can not gain
privilege and escape the user namespace so there is no longer a reason
to restrict chroot.
