Category:Huawei EulerOS Local Security Checks
Title:Huawei EulerOS: Security Advisory for flatpak (EulerOS-SA-2021-2799)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'flatpak' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2021-2799 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'flatpak' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2021-2799 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. In versions prior to 1.10.4 and 1.12.0, Flatpak apps with direct access to AF_UNIX sockets such as those used by Wayland, Pipewire or pipewire-pulse can trick portals and other host-OS services into treating the Flatpak app as though it was an ordinary, non-sandboxed host-OS process. They can do this by manipulating the VFS using recent mount-related syscalls that are not blocked by Flatpak's denylist seccomp filter, in order to substitute a crafted `/.flatpak-info` or make that file disappear entirely. Flatpak apps that act as clients for AF_UNIX sockets such as those used by Wayland, Pipewire or pipewire-pulse can escalate the privileges that the corresponding services will believe the Flatpak app has. Note that protocols that operate entirely over the D-Bus session bus (user bus), system bus or accessibility bus are not affected by this. This is due to the use of a proxy process `xdg-dbus-proxy`, whose VFS cannot be manipulated by the Flatpak app, when interacting with these buses. Patches exist for versions 1.10.4 and 1.12.0, and as of time of publication, a patch for version 1.8.2 is being planned. There are no workarounds aside from upgrading to a patched version.(CVE-2021-41133)
