Identifies an attempt to exploit a local privilege escalation (CVE-2023-2640 and CVE-2023-32629) via a flaw in Ubuntu's
modifications to OverlayFS. These flaws allow the creation of specialized executables, which, upon execution, grant the
ability to escalate privileges to root on the affected machine.
