  - An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.8. When g_file_replace() is used with     G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION to replace a path that is a dangling symlink, it incorrectly also     creates the target of the symlink as an empty file, which could conceivably have security relevance if the     symlink is attacker-controlled. (If the path is a symlink to a file that already exists, then the contents     of that file correctly remain unchanged.) (CVE-2021-28153)
