>Description:
Given the following setup:

- A host system
- A jail system located in /usr/local/jails/J1 on the host system
- A shell open in the jail system, with cwd set to /some/path (therefore, /usr/local/jails/J1/some/path on the host system).

When the root moves the /usr/local/jails/J1/some/path folder somewhere else (say in /usr/local/jails/J2/some/path), the jail shell (as any other jail process) in no longer rooted and has access to the whole filesystem on the host.
Though this is not a common situation, it may happen (and did happen to me).

Best regards,
