This document discusses chroot protection and how it can be used as a security measure but also has limitations. Chroot changes the root directory for a process and restricts it to that directory. While chroot can prevent some attacks, there are ways for an attacker to break out of the chroot jail if certain conditions are met, such as having root privileges within the jail or exploiting vulnerabilities in programs running as root. For chroot to provide effective security, daemons must drop root privileges after chrooting and there should be no way to regain higher privileges from within the jail.
