Descriptions

The do_remount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 does not maintain the MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit across a remount of a bind mount, which allows local users to bypass an intended read-only restriction and defeat certain sandbox protection mechanisms via a "mount -o remount" command within a user namespace.

La función do_remount en fs/namespace.c en el kernel de Linux hasta 3.16.1 no mantiene el bit MNT_LOCK_READONLY durante el remontaje de un montaje bind, lo que permite a usuarios locales evadir las restricciones de sólo lectura y vencer ciertos mecanismos de protección sandbox a través de un comando 'mount -o remount' dentro de un espacio para el nombre del usuario.
