The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has flatpak packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - Flatpak before 1.0.8, 1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.4, and     1.3.x before 1.3.1 allows a sandbox bypass. Flatpak     versions since 0.8.1 address CVE-2017-5226 by using a     seccomp filter to prevent sandboxed apps from using the     TIOCSTI ioctl, which could otherwise be used to inject     commands into the controlling terminal so that they     would be executed outside the sandbox after the     sandboxed app exits. This fix was incomplete: on 64-bit     platforms, the seccomp filter could be bypassed by an     ioctl request number that has TIOCSTI in its 32 least     significant bits and an arbitrary nonzero value in its     32 most significant bits, which the Linux kernel would     treat as equivalent to TIOCSTI. (CVE-2019-10063)
