How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 flatpak-libs.

NVD Description

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

If a malicious SDK container declares an extension point with a crafted directory path, and a developer runs flatpak build-init --writable-sdk --sdk-extension with that SDK, attacker-chosen files could be written outside the working directory, since the target path is resolved via a function that allows .. traversal.
