CVSS 3.1
4.7 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NCVE-2020-16123
Medium (4.7) in canonical ubuntu linux. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
An Ubuntu-specific patch in PulseAudio created a race condition where the snap policy module would fail to identify a client connection from a snap as coming from a snap if SCM_CREDENTIALS were missing, allowing the snap to connect to PulseAudio without proper confinement. This could be exploited by an attacker to expose sensitive information. Fixed in 1:13.99.3-1ubuntu2, 1:13.99.2-1ubuntu2.1, 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.8, 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.11, and 1:8.0-0ubuntu3.15.
