Cancer creates new chroot-like environment using Linux namespace(s) and executes a typically unprivileged process within that environemnt. This attempts to solve (or rather work around) the problem of stable/minimal workhorse system vs. uncontrollable bloat of modern software.
The intention is to install a modern Linux distribution in a chroot then execute bloatware from within that installation on the host system in a way that the bloatware picks up shared libraries and data files from the chroot but oterhwise fully integrates into the host system's environment.
There are two variants, a suid-root and
a true root implementation. The latter
can be used with sudo or sud0.
