An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-14178 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: snapd. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14178/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14178/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-14178","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14178/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-14178","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-14178","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-14178"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"snapd package manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unprivileged users can bypass systemd-journald access restrictions to read system logs via the snap logs command.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"snapd","vendor":"snapcraft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-755","name":"Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions"}],"description":"In snapd 2.27 through 2.29.2 the 'snap logs' command could be made to call journalctl without match arguments and therefore allow unprivileged, unauthenticated users to bypass systemd-journald's access restrictions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Security feature bypass in snapd","id":"CVE-2017-14178","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Apport","id":"CVE-2017-14179"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Apport","id":"CVE-2017-14177"},"products":["snapd"],"published":"2018-02-02","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Unprivileged users can bypass systemd-journald access restrictions to read system logs via the snap logs command.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14178/"}
