USN-6940-1 fixed vulnerabilities in snapd. This update provides the
corresponding updates for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

Neil McPhail discovered that snapd did not properly restrict writes to
the /home/jslarraz/bin path in the AppArmor profile for snaps using the home
plug. An attacker who could convince a user to install a malicious snap
could use this vulnerability to escape the snap sandbox. (CVE-2024-1724)

Zeyad Gouda discovered that snapd failed to properly check the file type
when extracting a snap. An attacker who could convince a user to install
a malicious snap containing non-regular files could then cause snapd to
block indefinitely while trying to read from such files and cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2024-29068)

Zeyad Gouda discovered that snapd failed to properly check the
destination of symbolic links when extracting a snap. An attacker who
could convince a user to install a malicious snap containing crafted
symbolic links could then cause snapd to write out the contents of the
symbolic link destination into a world-readable directory. This in-turn
could allow a local unprivileged user to gain access to privileged
information. (CVE-2024-29069)

of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1283,
CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2019-15903)

It was discovered that Expat, contained within the xmltok library,
incorrectly handled XML data containing a large number of colons, which
could lead to excessive resource consumption. If a user or application
were tricked into opening a crafted XML file, an attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-20843)

It was discovered that Expat, contained within the xmltok library,
incorrectly handled certain input, which could lead to an integer
overflow. If a user or application were tricked into opening a crafted XML
file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2021-46143, CVE-2022-22822, CVE-2022-22823, CVE-2022-22824,
