Description

Updated flatpak packages fix security vulnerability

Flatpak apps with direct access to AF_UNIX sockets such as those used by

Wayland, Pipewire or pipewire-pulse can trick portals and other host-OS

services into treating the Flatpak app as though it was an ordinary,

non-sandboxed host-OS process, by manipulating the VFS using recent

mount-related syscalls that are not blocked by Flatpak's denylist seccomp

filter, in order to substitute a crafted /.flatpak-info or make that file

disappear entirely.
