Red Hat Enterprise Linux: denial of service

Low3.6CVE-2026-97027 · Published Sep 28, 2026 · updated Sep 29, 2026

Flatpak passes through arbitrary vendor-extension keys unmodified when exporting an application's Desktop Entry (.desktop) and D-Bus Service (.service) files, instead of validating against an allowlist. A malicious Flatpak app can use this to cause denial of service (e.g. forced application restart loops) or to influence host D-Bus/systemd activation behavior beyond what the sandbox is intended to permit.
