🛡️ GHSA-jrr7-64m9-x984 — snapd (CVE-2024-5138)
Description
Duplicate Advisory: CVE-2024-5138: snapd snapctl auth bypass
# Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-p9v8-q5m4-pf46. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
# Original Description
The snapctl component within snapd allows a confined snap to interact with the snapd daemon to take certain privileged actions on behalf of the snap. It was found that snapctl did not properly parse command-line arguments, allowing an unprivileged user to trigger an authorised action on behalf of the snap that would normally require administrator privileges to perform. This could possibly allow an unprivileged user to perform a denial of service or similar.
