Critical security vulnerability affects OpenSSH on Alpine Linux systems

Version 10.6p2 of OpenSSH has been released with a workaround for a critical vulnerability that affects Linux systems that use musl libc with PAM disabled, such as Alpine Linux . OpenSSH developer Damien Miller said : If you operate a Linux system that uses musl libc without PAM (Alpine Linux is one example) then stop reading and set PasswordAuthentication=no or disable SSH for these systems IMMEDIATELY. This vulnerability does not exist on non-Linux systems, Linux/glibc systems and Linux systems that use PAM for password authentication. We consider the root cause of this bug to be outside Ope

[$] User namespaces + file capabilities = trouble

User namespaces are a key part of the kernel's toolkit for assembling containers; processes within a user namespace can appear to have full root access to the system while gaining no extra privileges in the wider system. At least, that is the intent. In practice, keeping privilege contained within a user namespace has often turned out to be difficult. As an example, consider this small patch series from Josef Bacik, which is intended to address some situations where a process within a user namespace can elevate the privileges of processes outside of it.
