The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3472-1 advisory.
/.flatpak-info
or make that file disappear entirely. Flatpak apps that act as clients for AF_UNIX sockets such as those used by Wayland, Pipewire or pipewire-pulse can escalate the privileges that the corresponding services will believe the Flatpak app has. Note that protocols that operate entirely over the D-Bus session bus (user bus), system bus or accessibility bus are not affected by this. This is due to the use of a proxy process xdg-dbus-proxy
, whose VFS cannot be manipulated by the Flatpak app, when interacting with these buses. Patches exist for versions 1.10.4 and 1.12.0, and as of time of publication, a patch for version 1.8.2 is being planned. There are no workarounds aside from upgrading to a patched version. (CVE-2021-41133)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the SUSE-SU-2021:3472-1 advisory.
- Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. In
versions prior to 1.10.4 and 1.12.0, Flatpak apps with direct access to AF_UNIX sockets such as those used
by Wayland, Pipewire or pipewire-pulse can trick portals and other host-OS services into treating the
Flatpak app as though it was an ordinary, non-sandboxed host-OS process. They can do this by manipulating
the VFS using recent mount-related syscalls that are not blocked by Flatpak's denylist seccomp filter, in
order to substitute a crafted `/.flatpak-info` or make that file disappear entirely. Flatpak apps that act
as clients for AF_UNIX sockets such as those used by Wayland, Pipewire or pipewire-pulse can escalate the
privileges that the corresponding services will believe the Flatpak app has. Note that protocols that
operate entirely over the D-Bus session bus (user bus), system bus or accessibility bus are not affected
by this. This is due to the use of a proxy process `xdg-dbus-proxy`, whose VFS cannot be manipulated by
the Flatpak app, when interacting with these buses. Patches exist for versions 1.10.4 and 1.12.0, and as
of time of publication, a patch for version 1.8.2 is being planned. There are no workarounds aside from
upgrading to a patched version. (CVE-2021-41133)
