"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALINUX3-SA-2023:0004 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2022-21682:
    Flatpak is a Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework. A path traversal vulnerability
    affects versions of Flatpak prior to 1.12.3 and 1.10.6. flatpak-builder applies `finish-args` last in the
    build. At this point the build directory will have the full access that is specified in the manifest, so
    running `flatpak build` against it will gain those permissions. Normally this will not be done, so this is
    not problem. However, if `--mirror-screenshots-url` is specified, then flatpak-builder will launch
    `flatpak build --nofilesystem=host appstream-utils mirror-screenshots` after finalization, which can lead
    to issues even with the `--nofilesystem=host` protection. In normal use, the only issue is that these
    empty directories can be created wherever the user has write permissions. However, a malicious application
    could replace the `appstream-util` binary and potentially do something more hostile. This has been
    resolved in Flatpak 1.12.3 and 1.10.6 by changing the behaviour of `--nofilesystem=home` and
    `--nofilesystem=host`.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
