CVE-2018-6560  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-19  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade flatpak/flatpak to version 0.8.9, 0.10.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Data Handling. 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.
