Bug description:
  This collates information about a security vulnerability discussed in
  email.  It has been assigned CVE-2020-11931.

  Ubuntu's PulseAudio package is shipped with a custom "module-snap-
  policy" module intended to restrict snap confined clients from
  recording audio unless they have the "audio-record" plug connected.
  However, it does not restrict access to the "PA_COMMAND_UNLOAD_MODULE"
  command.

  This allows a snap that has only plugged "audio-playback" to request
  that PulseAudio unload the security policy module, which in turn makes
  it possible to record audio.
