Summary

snapd regression

Details

USN-5292-1 fixed a vulnerability in snapd. Unfortunately that update introduced a regression that could break the fish shell. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

James Troup discovered that snap did not properly manage the permissions for the snap directories. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2021-3155)

Ian Johnson discovered that snapd did not properly validate content interfaces and layout paths. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary AppArmor policy rules, resulting in a bypass of intended access restrictions. (CVE-2021-4120)

The Qualys Research Team discovered that snapd did not properly validate the location of the snap-confine binary. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute other arbitrary binaries and escalate privileges. (CVE-2021-44730)

The Qualys Research Team discovered that a race condition existed in the snapd snap-confine binary when preparing a private mount namespace for a snap. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-44731)
