The attack does not require special capabilities or kernel-level exploits\u2014just timing and control over certain paths\u2014making it both reliable and low-barrier.

Successful exploitation requires only the ability to create and manipulate filesystem paths in such directories, without the need for special capabilities or kernel-level vulnerabilities. In multi-user environments\u2014such as shared systems, terminal servers, or certain container deployments, an unprotected or misconfigured pam_namespace configuration can serve as a single point of compromise. Privilege escalation flaws of this nature may also be chained with other vulnerabilities to maintain persistence or evade detection, further increasing the overall impact.",
