As another commenter noted, the PoC in this article doesn't defeat the Firecracker jailer, which does essentially what a "zone" would do for you. In both cases, that's cold comfort, because even in an unprivileged sandbox environment you still have a huge kernel attack surface to contend with LPEs in.

I would've thought that you could actually have an incredibly strict seccomp policy for the jailer which would require you to find an LPE in something like open(2), which seems unlikely even in the "agent swarm" era.
