See security bug (and all the other bugs with it) are not fixed yet. See #4178 for futher discussions in overlayfs. |

I understand these two options (--overlay and --overlay-tmpfs) were removed a while back due to a bug which allowed for root privilege escalation. I also believe though (?) that the bug has since been fixed, yet these overlay options remain disabled in the configure.ac file of the current build:
Are these options scheduled to be restored/reverted at some point, or has the corresponding bug not yet been fixed?
