Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 30
Release Status: release

Description:
        The restricted shell opened by calling rbash or bash with the -r or --restricted option can be easily circumvented with the
        command 'chroot / bash' making the restricted shell useless because anyone can get out of it with this command.

Repeat-By:
        1:Open a restricted shell
        2:Test with 'cd ..'
        3:Use 'chroot / bash'
        4:Test that you are no longer restricted with 'chroot / bash'
