NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream flatpak-debuginfo package and not the flatpak-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

A malicious or compromised Flatpak repository can write attacker-controlled content to arbitrary locations on the host filesystem via extract_extra_data(). On system installs, the write happens as root. Two issues combine: files/extra is resolved via path operations that follow symlinks, and blob names from xa.extra-data-sources are not sanitized against .. traversal.
