This is a completely patched Ubuntu 16.04 through the Extended Security Maintenance program.
I would have tried this on Ubuntu 14.04 (supported until 2024) but Flatpak never supported 14.04 in the first place.
They are talking about the code sitting inside the flatpak I think. If a developer fails to continue updating the system libraries a flatpak contains, you retain old vulnerabilities you could have otherwise fixed with a
sudo apt update && apt upgradeor asudo pacman -SyuThe runtimes are well maintained and it shows warnings on no longer maintained versions. It’s less of a problem in practice.
