Package: flatpak
Version: 1.16.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

There appears to be another regression in the fix for CVE-2026-34078 
affecting Chromium/CEF/Electron-based web browsers with internal 
sandboxing that are packaged as Flatpak apps, such as Vivaldi and Brave. 
Details at upstream bug link above. No solution is known yet, I will try 
to upload a fix to unstable ASAP when one is available.

Probably there is a file descriptor leak or double-close, or some similar 
file descriptor book-keeping problem.
