Description
ubuntu-image 1.0 when invoked as non-root on systems with e2fsprogs >= 1.43 creates file permissions in the resulting image with the UID of the invoking user. When the resulting image is booted, a local attacker with the same UID as the image creator can alter installed snap packages and signatures to downgrade or potentially replace snap packages.
