LSM restriction bypass via redirected label writes
Published Dec 2, 2025 · Updated Dec 2, 2025
LSM label bypass in Sylabs SingularityCE before 4.1.11 and 4.2.0-rc.1 through 4.3.4 allows attackers to evade container restrictions. Native mode opens process or thread attr/exec beneath /proc without first ensuring that the path belongs to genuine procfs, so a crafted container image can redirect the label write to an ineffective destination. Exploitation requires a user to run the malicious image with a --security label and requires attacker control of a shared mount; non-root execution does not grant privilege escalation.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=< 4.1.11
- Affected versionversion=> 4.2.0-rc.1, < 4.3.5
