"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202101-21
(Flatpak: Sandbox escape)

    A bug was discovered in the flatpak-portal service that can allow
      sandboxed applications to execute arbitrary code on the host system (a
      sandbox escape).
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
      Flatpak app possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
      privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  
Workaround :

    As a workaround, this vulnerability can be mitigated by preventing the
      flatpak-portal service from starting, but that mitigation will prevent
      many Flatpak apps from working correctly. It is highly recommended to
      upgrade."
