Upgrade Debian:unstable snapd to version 2.54-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream snapd package and not the snapd package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

snapd 2.54.2 and earlier created ~/snap directories in user home directories without specifying owner-only permissions. This could allow a local attacker to read information that should have been private. Fixed in snapd versions 2.54.3+18.04, 2.54.3+20.04 and 2.54.3+21.10.1
