NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream coreutils
package and not the coreutils
package as distributed by Ubuntu
.
chroot in GNU coreutils, when used with --userspec, allows local users to escape to the parent session via a crafted TIOCSTI ioctl call, which pushes characters to the terminal's input buffer.
