firejail is vulnerable to privilege escalation. The vulnerability exists due to a Privilege Context Switching issue allowing an attacker to craft a bogus Firejail container that is accepted by the Firejail setuid-root program as a join target allowing a local attacker can enter an environment in which the Linux user namespace is still the initial user namespace with NO_NEW_PRIVS prctl unactivated, and the entered mount namespace is under the attacker’s control.
