We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original vulnerability details:

 Giuseppe Scrivano discovered that the overlay file system in the Linux
 kernel did not properly perform permission checks in some situations. A
 local attacker could possibly use this to bypass intended restrictions and
 gain read access to restricted files.");
