Flatpak: version 1.18.3 released with security fixes

Flatpak has been released in version 1.18.3.

Flatpak is a framework for distributing and sandboxing Linux applications, independent of the distribution in use.

This version mainly brings two security updates for bundled libraries, along with several bug fixes, including build regressions from version 1.18.2 and a crash when installing bundles.

Bug fixes:

  • Update Meson wrap subprojects for projects that are normally taken from the host system:
    • bubblewrap 0.12.0 (CVE-2026-87766)
    • xdg-dbus-proxy 0.1.8 (CVE-2026-93676)
  • Fix regressions in 1.18.2 when building apps/runtimes, especially on SELinux systems or when the runtime is not installed per-user (#6818)
  • Fix subsandbox startup (flatpak-spawn) when run from an app that was configured with --no-talk-name or --system-no-talk-name (#6776)
  • Fix a crash when a bundle is installed with explicit key bytes (#6842)
  • Documentation updates (code of conduct, contributor guidelines)
