Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.843939
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-3917-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'snapd' package(s) announced via the USN-3917-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'snapd' package(s) announced via the USN-3917-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The snapd default seccomp filter for strict mode snaps blocks the use of
the ioctl() system call when used with TIOCSTI as the second argument to
the system call. Jann Horn discovered that this restriction could be
circumvented on 64 bit architectures. A malicious snap could exploit this
to bypass intended access restrictions to insert characters into the
terminal's input queue. On Ubuntu, snapd typically will have already
automatically refreshed itself to snapd 2.37.4 which is unaffected.

Affected Software/OS:
'snapd' package(s) on Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 18.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
