"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has flatpak packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:
- Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.
Versions prior to 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4 contain a vulnerability similar to CVE-2017-5226, but
using the `TIOCLINUX` ioctl command instead of `TIOCSTI`. If a Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual
console such as `/dev/tty1`, it can copy text from the virtual console and paste it into the command
buffer, from which the command might be run after the Flatpak app has exited. Ordinary graphical terminal
emulators like xterm, gnome-terminal and Konsole are unaffected. This vulnerability is specific to the
Linux virtual consoles `/dev/tty1`, `/dev/tty2` and so on. A patch is available in versions 1.10.8,
1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4. As a workaround, don't run Flatpak on a Linux virtual console. Flatpak is
primarily designed to be used in a Wayland or X11 graphical environment. (CVE-2023-28100)
- Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. in
versions before 1.10.9, 1.12.9, 1.14.6, and 1.15.8, a malicious or compromised Flatpak app could execute
arbitrary code outside its sandbox. Normally, the `--command` argument of `flatpak run` expects to be
given a command to run in the specified Flatpak app, optionally along with some arguments. However it is
possible to instead pass `bwrap` arguments to `--command=`, such as `--bind`. It's possible to pass an
arbitrary `commandline` to the portal interface `org.freedesktop.portal.Background.RequestBackground` from
within a Flatpak app. When this is converted into a `--command` and arguments, it achieves the same effect
of passing arguments directly to `bwrap`, and thus can be used for a sandbox escape. The solution is to
pass the `--` argument to `bwrap`, which makes it stop processing options. This has been supported since
bubblewrap 0.3.0. All supported versions of Flatpak require at least that version of bubblewrap. xdg-
desktop-portal version 1.18.4 will mitigate this vulnerability by only allowing Flatpak apps to create
.desktop files for commands that do not start with --. The vulnerability is patched in 1.15.8, 1.10.9,
1.12.9, and 1.14.6. (CVE-2024-32462)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
