Doc Text:
It was found that flatpak's D-Bus proxy did not properly filter the access to D-Bus during the authentication protocol. A specially crafted flatpak application could use this flaw to bypass all restrictions imposed by flatpak and have full access to the D-BUS interface.

Description Laura Pardo 2018-02-05 15:21:19 EST
A flaw was found in dbus-proxy/flatpak-proxy.c in Flatpak before 0.8.9, and 0.9.x and 0.10.x before 0.10.3, crafted. D-Bus messages to the host can be used to break out of the sandbox, because whitespace handling in the proxy is not identical to whitespace handling in the daemon.
