Incomplete fix in 3.3.2, better fix in 3.3.3 Incomplete fix in 3.4.5, better fix in 3.4.6 Sandbox confinement in focal and earlier is considerably different, we will not be backporting this fix to focal and earlier since this is simply a hardening measure, and does not represent an actual vulnerability. |
