This release is an emergency release to fix an important security
vulnerability in the confinement of Tor Browser.

Changes and updates

• Update Flatpak to 1.16.6, which fixes
  CVE-2026-34078, a major
  sandbox escape vulnerability. Using this vulnerability, an attacker could
  break the security confinement of Tor
  Browser and access all
  files that don't require an administration password, including in the
  Persistent Storage.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  This vulnerability can only be exploited by a powerful attacker who has
