    CVE-2023-2640

    Needs a user account on the system (even unprivledged accounts) via overlayfs

    Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree. All modifications go to the upper, writable layer. This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there is a wide variety of other uses.
