NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream flatpak-builder package and not the flatpak-builder package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In dbus-proxy/flatpak-proxy.c in Flatpak before 0.8.9, and 0.9.x and 0.10.x before 0.10.3, crafted D-Bus messages to the host can be used to break out of the sandbox, because whitespace handling in the proxy is not identical to whitespace handling in the daemon.
