[USN-6940-2] snapd vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6940-2
January 13, 2025
snapd vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in snapd.
Software Description:
- snapd: Daemon and tooling that enable snap packages
Details:
USN-6940-1 fixed vulnerabilities in snapd. This update provides the
corresponding updates for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Original advisory details:
Neil McPhail discovered that snapd did not properly restrict writes to
the /home/jslarraz/bin path in the AppArmor profile for snaps using the home
plug. An attacker who could convince a user to install a malicious snap
could use this vulnerability to escape the snap sandbox. (CVE-2024-1724)
Zeyad Gouda discovered that snapd failed to properly check the file type
when extracting a snap. An attacker who could convince a user to install
a malicious snap containing non-regular files could then cause snapd to
block indefinitely while trying to read from such files and cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2024-29068)
Zeyad Gouda discovered that snapd failed to properly check the
destination of symbolic links when extracting a snap. An attacker who
could convince a user to install a malicious snap containing crafted
symbolic links could then cause snapd to write out the contents of the
symbolic link destination into a world-readable directory. This in-turn
could allow a local unprivileged user to gain access to privileged
information. (CVE-2024-29069)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
snapd 2.61.4ubuntu0.18.04.1+esm1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
snapd 2.61.4ubuntu0.16.04.1+esm1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

hplip vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Summary:
HPLIP could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.
Software Description:
- hplip: HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP)
Details:
Kevin Backhouse discovered that HPLIP incorrectly handled certain MDNS
responses. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause HPLIP to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
hplip 3.20.3+dfsg0-2ubuntu0.1
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
