Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6851-1
June 26, 2024

netplan.io vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 23.10
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Netplan could reveal secrets or execute commands with specially crafted
configuration file.

Software Description:
- netplan.io: Declarative network configuration for various backends

Details:

Andreas Hasenack discovered that netplan incorrectly handled the permissions
for netdev files containing wireguard configuration. An attacker could use this to obtain
wireguard secret keys.

It was discovered that netplan configuration could be manipulated into injecting
arbitrary commands while setting up network interfaces. An attacker could
use this to execute arbitrary commands or escalate privileges.
