CVE-2024-1724

In snapd versions prior to 2.62, when using AppArmor for enforcement of
sandbox permissions, snapd failed to restrict writes to the $HOME/bin
path. In Ubuntu, when this path exists, it is automatically added to the
users PATH. An attacker who could convince a user to install a malicious
snap which used the ‘home’ plug could use this vulnerability to install
arbitrary scripts into the users PATH which may then be run by the user
outside of the expected snap sandbox and hence allow them to escape
confinement.
