1.12.0

This is the first stable release in the 1.12.x series. The major changes
in this series is the support for better control of sub-sandboxes, as
used by the Steam Flatpak app to run Windows games under Proton.

In addition, this release fixes a security vulnerability in the portal
support. Some recently added syscalls were not blocked by the seccomp rules
which allowed the application to create sub-sandboxes which can confuse
the sandboxing verification mechanisms of the portal. This has been
fixed by extending the seccomp rules. (CVE-2021-41133)

GHSA-67h7-w3jq-vh4q

  • Some test fixes
  • Update translations
  • Support for specifying the flatpak binary to use during exports

  • Fix progress reporting in flatpak fsck
  • Handle cases where /var/tmp is a symlink
  • Expose /etc/gai.conf to the sandbox
  • Fix the parental control checks for root
