CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade wpe_webkit to version 2.28.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. The bubblewrap sandbox of WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit, prior to 2.28.3, failed to properly block access to CLONE_NEWUSER and the TIOCSTI ioctl. CLONE_NEWUSER could potentially be used to confuse xdg-desktop-portal, which allows access outside the sandbox. TIOCSTI can be used to directly execute commands outside the sandbox by writing to the controlling terminal's input buffer, similar to CVE-2017-5226.
