CVE-2022-38065

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the oslo.privsep functionality of OpenStack git master 05194e7618 and prior. Overly permissive functionality within tools leveraging this library within a container can lead increased privileges.

Upstream doesn't consider this a security issue, but as a
hardening improvement as it works as documented. There are no
plans to fix this in stable releases. See discussion in upstream
bug report.

We will not be fixing this issue in our stable releases either,
so marking as ignored.
