kernel: nsfs: tighten permission checks for handle opening
    </Bugzilla>
    <CWE>CWE-1220</CWE>
    <Details xml:lang="en:us" source="Mitre">
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nsfs: tighten permission checks for handle opening

Even privileged services should not necessarily be able to see other
privileged service's namespaces so they can't leak information to each
other. Use may_see_all_namespaces() helper that centralizes this policy
until the nstree adapts.
    </Details>
    <Details xml:lang="en:us" source="Red Hat">
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nsfs component. This vulnerability allows privileged services to potentially view the namespaces of other privileged services, leading to information disclosure. This could enable unauthorized access to sensitive data or configurations between isolated services.
