Synopsis
========
A vulnerability has been discovered in Distrobox, which can lead to
arbitrary code execution.
Background

or lilipod to create containers using the Linux distribution of your
choice. The created container will be tightly integrated with the host,
allowing sharing of the HOME directory of the user, external storage,
external USB devices and graphical apps (X11/Wayland), and audio.
