Hello everyone,
Flatpak 1.18.1, a security update for the cross-distribution package format, was released on August 11. The new version addresses ten security issues, several of which could allow access to the host system or the elevation of user privileges. Users should therefore update to the new version as soon as possible.
Source:
Flatpak version 1.14.6 was installed on my PC’s (the default version for 24.04)
A manual update is essential and must be performed as soon as possible for Ubuntu 24.04 and logically for Zorin 18.
flatpak --version
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flatpak/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak
flatpak update
flatpak --version
This procedure will replace the outdated version of Ubuntu with version 1.18.1, which includes security patches.
