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 authorized 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. https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/2065077 https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/commit/68ee9c6aa916ab87dbfd9a26030690f2cabf1e14 https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/security/advisories/GHSA-p9v8-q5m4-pf46 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-5138
