DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2023-0386: Privilege escalation in Overlay filesystem.

A uid mapping bug in OverlayFS when copying a capable file from a nosuid
mount into another mount may allow a low-privileged user to run a binary
as root. A local unprivileged user can use this flaw to gain
administrative privileges on the system.
