Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Flatpak, a Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework. The caching mechanism for ld.so (dynamic linker/loader) improperly removes outdated cache files without adequately verifying that the application-controlled path to the outdated cache is within the designated cache directory. This vulnerability allows Flatpak applications to delete arbitrary files on the host system, potentially leading to system instability or data loss.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-04-07 22:02:01 UTC
Flatpak is a Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework. Prior to 1.16.4, the caching for ld.so removes outdated cache files without properly checking that the app controlled path to the outdated cache is in the cache directory. This allows Flatpak apps  to delete arbitrary files on the host. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.16.4.
