OpenURL() in usersession/userd/launcher.go would alter $XDG_DATA_DIRS to append a path to a directory controlled by the calling snap. A malicious snap could exploit this to bypass intended access restrictions to control how the host system xdg-open script opens the URL and, for example, execute a script shipped with the snap without confinement. This issue did not affect Ubuntu Core systems. Fixed in snapd versions 2.45.1ubuntu0.2, 2.45.1+18.04.2 and 2.45.1+20.04.2." } ] }, "exploit": [], "generator": { "engine": "Vulnogram 0.0.9" }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 5.9, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "Sandbox escape vulnerability" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://ubuntu.com/USN-4424-1", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://ubuntu.com/USN-4424-1" }, { "name": "https://launchpad.net/bugs/1880085", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://launchpad.net/bugs/1880085" } ] }, "solution": [], "source": { "advisory": "https://ubuntu.com/USN-4424-1", "defect": [ "https://launchpad.net/bugs/1880085" ], "discovery": "INTERNAL" }, "work_around": [] }
