Comment on CVE-2026-3888: Important Snap Flaw Enables Local Privilege Escalation to Rootparent

Comments

In general, I think it's because it tends to be an XY problem. If you're on a service account or something, you generally have SeBackupPrivilege (override read ACLs) and SeRestorePrivilege (override write ACLs) and other relevant privileges so like if you're changing files that's less needed since you can overwrite the ACLs to the necessary files as needed
