Ars Technica reports a high-severity kernel flaw where one faulty character introduced a use-after-free, exploitable to escape sandbox defenses and gain root. If you run untrusted workloads or AI agents inside Linux sandboxes, this is the reminder that container isolation is only as strong as the kernel under it. A one-character typo in privileged C became a full privilege-escalation primitive. Patch your hosts, and stop treating "it's in a container" as a security boundary on its own.
