No source in this snapshot names a fixed version. The vendor advisories under References are the place to check.
Description
A malicious user can get read-access to files in the flatpak-system-helper context if a system OCI repository is configured, because the OCI code paths in the system helper follow symlinks when importing OCI images that are under the user's control.
