  Log:
  Jails have a problem in that if the jail directory is world-readable, an
  attacker with root access to the jail can create a setuid binary for their
  own use in the host environment (if they also have this access), thus
  breaking root in the host.
  
  This exploit is impossible if the jail's files are not world-readable.
  Add instructions to the handbook on how to create a jail with the
  correct permissions set.
