7DescriptionCVE.org
An improper access control vulnerability in the canonical-livepatch snap client prior to version 10.15.0 allows a local unprivileged user to obtain a sensitive, root-level authentication token by sending an unauthenticated request to the livepatchd.sock Unix domain socket. This vulnerability is exploitable on systems where an administrator has already enabled the Livepatch client with a valid Ubuntu Pro subscription. This token allows an attacker to access Livepatch services using the victim's credentials, as well as potentially cause issues to the Livepatch server.
AnalysisAI
Canonical Livepatch snap client prior to 10.15.0 allows local unprivileged users to obtain a root-level authentication token via an unauthenticated request to the livepatchd.sock Unix domain socket, enabling attackers to impersonate the victim and access Livepatch services on systems with an active Ubuntu Pro subscription.
Technical ContextAI
The canonical-livepatch snap implements a Unix domain socket interface (livepatchd.sock) for local inter-process communication with the Livepatch daemon. The vulnerability stems from improper access control (CWE-306) on this socket, which fails to enforce proper authentication or authorization checks. This allows any local unprivileged user to connect to the socket and retrieve a sensitive authentication token normally intended for root-level operations. The token can then be replayed to authenticate requests to Livepatch services, effectively bypassing the intended privilege boundary between the unprivileged user and the root-owned service. The snap containerization model isolates the Livepatch client but does not prevent local socket access from unprivileged users within the system.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patch by upgrading canonical-livepatch snap to version 10.15.0 or later. Ubuntu users can update via snap refresh canonical-livepatch or through the Ubuntu Software Center. Until patching is completed, disable Livepatch if not critical for your environment by running snap disable canonical-livepatch, or restrict local system access via OS-level controls such as restricting user accounts or removing unnecessary local user access. Note that disabling Livepatch removes live kernel patching capabilities and requires traditional system reboots for kernel updates, which may impact availability requirements.
