The snap format is a squashfs file-system\nimage and so can contain files that are non-regular files (such as pipes \nor sockets etc). Various file entries within the snap squashfs image\n(such as icons etc) are directly read by snapd when it is extracted. An \nattacker who could convince a user to install a malicious snap which\ncontained non-regular files at these paths could then cause snapd to block\nindefinitely trying to read from such files and cause a denial of service.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","score":6.6},"cwes":["CWE-20"],"references":["https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/commit/b66fee81606a1c05f965a876ccbaf44174194063","https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/13682","https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/commit/b66fee81606a1c05f965a876ccbaf44174194063","https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/13682"],"products":["canonical:snapd"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:52:42.518321223+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-29068","score":0.00212,"percentile":0.11452,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-64jh-cjwc-w8q6","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-64jh-cjwc-w8q6","summary":"snapd failed to properly check the file type when extracting a snap","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:16.374684510Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/snapcore/snapd","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/snapcore/snapd","ranges":["<2.62"],"fixed":["2.62"]}]},{"id":"GO-2024-3008","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2024-3008","summary":"snapd failed to properly check the file type when extracting a snap in github.com/snapcore/snapd","modified":"2024-08-06T22:27:06.974159Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/snapcore/snapd","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/snapcore/snapd","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
