    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.
