Fedora 29: flatpak Security Update
Summary
flatpak is a system for building, distributing and running sandboxed desktop
applications on Linux. See https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SandboxedApps for
more information.
flatpak 1.0.6 release. This release fixes an issue that lets system-wide
installed applications create setuid root files inside their app dir (somewhere
in /var/lib/flatpak/app). Setuid support is disabled inside flatpaks, so such
files are only a risk if the user runs them manually outside flatpak.
Installing a flatpak system-wide is needs root access, so this isn't a privilege
elevation for non-root users, and allowing root to install setuid files is
something all traditional packaging systems allow. However flatpak tries to be
better than that, in order to make it easier to trust third party repositories.
Changes in this version: * The permissions of the files created by the
apply_extra script is canonicalized and the script itself is run without any
capabilities. * Better matching of existing remotes when the local and remote
configuration differs wrt collection ids. * New flatpakrepo
DeployCollectionID replaces CollectionID, doing the same thing. It is
recommended to use this instead because older versions of flatpak has bugs in
the support of collection ids, and this key will only be respected in
versions where it works. * The X11 socket is now mounted read-only.
