Additionally, using Flatpak (#1639) would also provide a sandbox on Linux. (Both sandboxes should be enabled. Just pointing out that Signal has at least two sandboxes it could use on Linux and it officially uses neither.)

@garrett

I don't think this has been addressed yet, and is security-related, so it probably should stay open.

It still doesn't seem to be addressed, so this isn't stale. Since it's a security issue, it really should be addressed.
