**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** OpenZFS (affected versions not specified) **Description** On Linux, several ioctl authorization checks incorrectly treat capabilities held within a user-created, unprivileged namespace as equivalent to actual host privileges. This allows an unprivileged local user to execute operations that typically require root access, such as pool-administrative tasks (create, import, destroy), accessing the pool event log via `zpool events`, and performing fault injection through `zinject`. Exploitation is possible if the local user can open `/dev/zfs` and the kernel allows the creation of unprivileged user namespaces. No prior access to the target pool or its underlying devices is required. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
