Description Andrej Nemec 2017-01-10 14:46:44 UTC 
When executing a program via the bubblewrap sandbox, the nonpriv
session can escape to the parent session by using the TIOCSTI ioctl to
push characters into the terminal's input buffer, allowing an attacker
to escape the sandbox.

Comment 2 Colin Walters 2018-05-31 14:00:42 UTC 
We decided not to change bubblewrap for this; see https://github.com/projectatomic/bubblewrap/pull/150

Effectively it's something software which *uses* flatpak has to choose how to handle.  (Also really the kernel should make it easy to disallow)
