    Package        : flatpak
    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-42472

    Chris Williams discovered a flaw in the handling of mounts for
    persistent directories in Flatpak, an application deployment framework
    for desktop apps. A malicious or compromised Flatpak app using
    persistent directories could take advantage of this flaw to access files
    outside of the sandbox.

    Details can be found in the upstream advisory at
    https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/security/advisories/GHSA-7hgv-f2j8-xw87

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.14.10-1~deb12u1. To address the vulnerability, flatpak uses a
    new feature provided in bubblewrap and provided in version
    0.8.0-2+deb12u1 along with this update.

    We recommend that you upgrade your flatpak packages.

    For the detailed security status of flatpak please refer to its security
    tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/flatpak
