Fedora 33: 2021-f970ea9d79 Critical: Flatpak Sandbox Escape

flatpak is a system for building, distributing and running sandboxed desktop

applications on Linux. See https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SandboxedApps for

more information.

This updates flatpak from 1.8 to new 1.10 stable series. The major new feature

in this series compared to 1.8 is the support for the new repo format which

should make updates faster and download less data. For details what's new in

1.10, see https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/releases/tag/1.10.0 This also

includes a security update that fixes a sandbox escape where a malicious

application can execute code outside the sandbox by controlling the environment

of the "flatpak run" command when spawning a sub-sandbox. See the advisory for

details: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/security/advisories/GHSA-4ppf-fxf6-vxg2
