CVE-2025-15547
Last modified
CVE-2025-15547 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. By default, jailed processes cannot mount filesystems, including nullfs(4). However, the allow.mount.nullfs option enables mounting nullfs filesystems, subject to privilege checks. If a privileged user within a jail is able to nullfs-mount directories, a limitation of the kernel's path lookup logic allows that user to escape the jail's chroot, yielding access to the full filesystem of the host or parent jail. In a jail configured to allow nullfs(4) mounts from within the jail, the jailed root user can escape the jail's filesystem root.. EPSS estimates a 0.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
