"The remote Fedora 33 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the

  - This updates flatpak from 1.8 to new 1.10 stable series.  The major new feature in this series compared to
    1.8 is the support for the new repo format which should make updates faster and download less data.  For
    details what's new in 1.10, see https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/releases/tag/1.10.0  This also includes
    a security update that fixes a sandbox escape where a malicious application can execute code outside the
    sandbox by controlling the environment of the flatpak run command when spawning a sub-sandbox.  See the
    advisory for details:   https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/security/advisories/GHSA-4ppf-fxf6-vxg2
