CVE-2016-1580 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 ubuntu-core-launcher to version 1.0.27.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ubuntu-core-launcher package and not the ubuntu-core-launcher package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
The setup_snappy_os_mounts function in the ubuntu-core-launcher package before 1.0.27.1 improperly determines the mount point of bind mounts when using snaps, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or gain privileges via a snap with a name starting with "ubuntu-core."
