An unprivileged write to the file handler flaw in the Linux kernel’s
control groups and namespaces subsystem was found in the way users have
access to some less privileged process that are controlled by cgroups and
have higher privileged parent process. It is actually both for cgroup2 and
cgroup1 versions of control groups. A local user could use this flaw to
crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
