I've discovered that a chroot can be escaped by chrooting to any file.
I'm interested on how this plays on attempting to protect /dev/log?
>From what I can gather is that chroots should not be used as a security
measure(as they are in this case), but only as a device to run multiple
distributions at the same time.

Am I wrong?
