Bug 901507 – <sys-apps/flatpak-{1.12.8,1.14.4}: Multiple vulnerabilities

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Sam James 2023-03-16 19:57:59 UTC]

```
Security fixes:

* Escape special characters when displaying permissions and metadata,
  preventing malicious apps from manipulating the appearance of the
  permissions list using crafted metadata (CVE-2023-28101).

* If a Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console (tty1, tty2, etc.),
  don't allow copy/paste via the TIOCLINUX ioctl (CVE-2023-28100). Note
  that this is specific to virtual consoles: Flatpak is not vulnerable
  to this if run from a graphical terminal emulator such as xterm,
  gnome-terminal or Konsole.
```

I would like to note that the maximum damage for TIOCLINUX is privilage escalation, in general.  ttyjack (https://github.com/jwilk/ttyjack) is a great tool to see that in action, but I have not tried putting it into a flatpak package for verification, so please verify yourself.  If risk is the product of probability times damage, damage may be bigger than some of the related texts read and then risk also is.  Just my two cents.

[Comment 4 John Helmert III 2023-04-19 04:30:26 UTC]

Thanks! Please stabilize ASAP
