ArchLinux: 202107-39: racket: sandbox escape
Summary
In Racket versions prior to 8.2, code evaluated using the Racket sandbox could cause system modules to incorrectly use attacker-created modules instead of their intended dependencies. This could allow system functions to be controlled by the attacker, giving access to facilities intended to be restricted.
Resolution
Upgrade to 8.2-1.
# pacman -Syu "racket>=8.2-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 8.2.
