Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2019-11480 (CCN-182428)

Assigned:2019-07-10
Published:2019-07-10
Updated:2020-04-14
Summary:The pc-kernel snap build process hardcoded the --allow-insecure-repositories and --allow-unauthenticated apt options when creating the build chroot environment. This could allow an attacker who is able to perform a MITM attack between the build environment and the Ubuntu archive to install a malicious package within the build chroot. This issue affects pc-kernel versions prior to and including 2019-07-16
