The frustrating part is that Snap's confinement story was supposed to be a selling point. Here we are with a priv-esc in the daemon itself. At this point I've just disabled snapd on all our Ubuntu boxes and moved to flatpak or building from source. The attack surface of a privileged install daemon that parses arbitrary package manifests is just too broad.
