Summary

Details

The setup_snappy_os_mounts function in the ubuntu-core-launcher package before 1.0.27.1 improperly determines the mount point of bind mounts when using snaps, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or gain privileges via a snap with a name starting with "ubuntu-core."

Severity

9.8 (Critical)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu

Published

Modified

2026-02-10 04:40

Summary

ubuntu-core-launcher vulnerability

Details

Zygmunt Krynicki discovered that ubuntu-core-launcher did not properly sanitize its input and contained a logic error when determining the mountpoint of bind mounts when using snaps on Ubuntu classic systems (eg, traditional desktop and server). If a user were tricked into installing a malicious snap with a crafted snap name, an attacker could perform a delayed attack to steal data or execute code within the security context of another snap. This issue did not affect Ubuntu Core systems.
