Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-6125-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'snapd' package(s) announced via the USN-6125-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'snapd' package(s) announced via the USN-6125-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that the snap sandbox did not restrict the use of the ioctl system call with a TIOCLINUX request. This could be exploited by a malicious snap to inject commands into the controlling terminal which would then be executed outside of the snap sandbox once the snap had exited. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands outside of the confined snap sandbox. Note: graphical terminal emulators like xterm, gnome-terminal and others are not affected - this can only be exploited when snaps are run on a virtual console. Affected Software/OS: 'snapd' package(s) on Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 22.10, Ubuntu 23.04. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 10.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
