Security database references:

More information:

It was discovered that Flatpak, an application deployment framework for desktop apps, insufficiently restricted the execution of apply_extra scripts which could potentially result in privilege escalation.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.9-0+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your flatpak packages.
