A local attacker could use this to bypass access controls on resources outside the namespace. CVE-2018-18955 Philipp Wendler discovered that the overlayfs implementati...

kernel: Overflowing kernel mount table using shared bind mount

It was found that in Linux kernel the mount table expands by a power-of-two with each bind mount command. If a system is configured to allow non-privileged user to do bind mounts, or allows to do so in a container or unprivileged mount namespace, then non-privileged user is able to cause a local...
