Escape Change Rooted Directories on AtheOS
AtheOS is a freely available, open source operating system. It is distributed under the GPL, and maintained by the AtheOS project. Due to insufficient handling of relative pathes, a process in the change rooted directory may change directory using the dot-dot-slash (../) specifier. This would allow access to the system with the privileges of the change rooted process.
Mitigation:
Ensure that all relative paths are properly handled and validated.
