The remote host is missing an update for the 'ubuntu-core-launcher' package(s) announced via the USN-2956-1 advisory. It did not properly sanitize its input and contained a logic error when determining the mountpoint of bind mounts when using snaps on Ubuntu classic systems. An attacker could perform a delayed attack to steal data or execute code within the security context of another snap
