Security fixes:

* Escape special characters when displaying permissions and metadata,
  preventing malicious apps from manipulating the appearance of the
  permissions list using crafted metadata (CVE-2023-28101).

* If a Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console (tty1, tty2, etc.),
  don't allow copy/paste via the TIOCLINUX ioctl (CVE-2023-28100). Note
  that this is specific to virtual consoles: Flatpak is not vulnerable
  to this if run from a graphical terminal emulator such as xterm,
  gnome-terminal or Konsole.

Other bug fixes:

* Translation update: pl
