CVE-2023-28101

flatpak is a system for building, distributing and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. See https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SandboxedApps for more information.

Security Fix(es):

Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. Versions prior to 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4 contain a vulnerability similar to CVE-2017-5226, but using the TIOCLINUX ioctl command instead of TIOCSTI. If a Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console such as /dev/tty1, it can copy text from the virtual console and paste it into the command buffer, from which the command might be run after the Flatpak app has exited. Ordinary graphical terminal emulators like xterm, gnome-terminal and Konsole are unaffected. This vulnerability is specific to the Linux virtual consoles /dev/tty1, /dev/tty2 and so on. A patch is available in versions 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4. As a workaround, don't run Flatpak on a Linux virtual console. Flatpak is primarily designed to be used in a Wayland or X11 graphical environment.(CVE-2023-28100)

Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. In versions prior to 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4, if an attacker publishes a Flatpak app with elevated permissions, they can hide those permissions from users of the flatpak(1) command-line interface by setting other permissions to crafted values that contain non-printable control characters such as ESC. A fix is available in versions 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4. As a workaround, use a GUI like GNOME Software rather than the command-line interface, or only install apps whose maintainers you trust.(CVE-2023-28101)

• CVE-2023-28101: fix issue of hiding elevated permissions by setting crafted values containing non-printable control characters

If a malicious Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console such as /dev/tty1, it can copy text from the virtual console and paste it back into the virtual console's input buffer, from which the command might be run by the user's shell after the Flatpak app has exited. This is similar to CVE-2017-5226, but using the TIOCLINUX ioctl command instead of TIOCSTI. (CVE-2023-28100) Flatpak app with elevated permissions mayhide those permissions from users of the 'flatpak(1)' command-line interface by setting other permissions to crafted values that contain non-printable control characters such as 'ESC'. (CVE-2023-28101)

These are all security issues fixed in the flatpak-1.14.4-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.
