CVE-2025-15547
Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-269
Improper Privilege Management
Publication date:
09/03/2026
Last modified:
17/03/2026
Description
By default, jailed processes cannot mount filesystems, including nullfs(4). However, the allow.mount.nullfs option enables mounting nullfs filesystems, subject to privilege checks.<br />
<br />
If a privileged user within a jail is able to nullfs-mount directories, a limitation of the kernel&#39;s path lookup logic allows that user to escape the jail&#39;s chroot, yielding access to the full filesystem of the host or parent jail.<br />
<br />
In a jail configured to allow nullfs(4) mounts from within the jail, the jailed root user can escape the jail&#39;s filesystem root.
