A flaw was found in glib. Missing validation of offset and count parameters in the g_buffered_input_stream_peek() function can lead to an integer overflow during length calculation. When specially crafted values are provided, this overflow results in an incorrect size being passed to memcpy(), triggering a buffer overflow. This can cause application crashes, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-5637749c07 advisory.

According to the versions of the glib2 package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    A flaw was found in GLib (Gnome Lib). This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause heap     corruption, leading to a denial of service or potential code execution via a buffer-underflow in the     GVariant parser when processing maliciously crafted input strings.(CVE-2025-14087)

    A heap-based buffer overflow problem was found in glib through an incorrect calculation of buffer size in     the g_escape_uri_string() function. If the string to escape contains a very large number of unacceptable     characters (which would need escaping), the calculation of the length of the escaped string could     overflow, leading to a potential write off the end of the newly allocated string.(CVE-2025-13601)

    A flaw was found in glib. This vulnerability allows a heap buffer overflow and denial-of-service (DoS) via     an integer overflow in GLib's GIO (GLib Input/Output) escape_byte_string() function when processing     malicious file or remote filesystem attribute values.(CVE-2025-14512)

    A flaw was found in glib. Missing validation of offset and count parameters in the     g_buffered_input_stream_peek() function can lead to an integer overflow during length calculation. When     specially crafted values are provided, this overflow results in an incorrect size being passed to     memcpy(), triggering a buffer overflow.

    A flaw was found in glib. An integer overflow during temporary file creation leads to an out-of-bounds     memory access, allowing an attacker to potentially perform path traversal or access private temporary file     content by creating symbolic links. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to manipulate file paths     and access unauthorized data. The core issue stems from insufficient validation of file path lengths     during temporary file operations.(CVE-2025-7039)

    A flaw was found in GLib, which is vulnerable to an integer overflow in the g_string_insert_unichar()     function. When the position at which to insert the character is large, the position will overflow, leading     to a buffer underwrite.(CVE-2025-4373)

    A flaw was found in GLib. An integer overflow and buffer under-read occur when parsing a long invalid ISO     8601 timestamp with the g_date_time_new_from_iso8601() function.(CVE-2025-3360)

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4491 advisory.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------     Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4491-1                debian-lts@lists.debian.org     https://www.debian.org/lts/security/                   Andreas Henriksson     February 23, 2026                             https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package        : glib2.0     Version        : 2.66.8-1+deb11u8     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-0988 CVE-2026-1484 CVE-2026-1485 CVE-2026-1489     Debian Bug     : 1125752 1126549 1126550 1126551

    Multiple issues were found in GLib, a general-purpose, portable utility     library, that could lead to denial of service, memory corruption or     potentially arbitrary code execution if maliciously crafted data is     processed.

    CVE-2026-0988

        Codean Labs found missing validation of offset and count parameters in the         g_buffered_input_stream_peek() function can lead to an integer overflow         during length calculation. When specially crafted values are provided, this         overflow results in an incorrect size being passed to memcpy(), triggering         a buffer overflow. This can cause application crashes, leading to a Denial         of Service (DoS).

    CVE-2026-1484

        treeplus with additional thanks to Sovereign Tech Resilience program of the         Sovereign Tech Agency found in the GLib Base64 encoding routine when         processing very large input data. Due to incorrect use of integer types         during length calculation, the library may miscalculate buffer boundaries.
        This can cause memory writes outside the allocated buffer. Applications         that process untrusted or extremely large Base64 input using GLib may crash         or behave unpredictably.

    CVE-2026-1485

        treeplus with additonal thanks to Sovereign Tech Resilience program of the         Sovereign Tech Agency found a flaw in Glib's content type parsing logic.
        This buffer underflow vulnerability occurs because the length of a header         line is stored in a signed integer, which can lead to integer wraparound         for very large inputs. This results in pointer underflow and out-of-bounds         memory access. Exploitation requires a local user to install or         process a specially crafted treemagic file, which can lead to local         denial of service or application instability.

    CVE-2026-1489

        treeplus with additional thanks to Sovereign Tech Resilience program of the         Sovereign Tech Agency found a flaw n GLib. An integer overflow         vulnerability in its Unicode case conversion implementation can lead to         memory corruption. By processing specially crafted and extremely large         Unicode strings, an attacker could trigger an undersized memory allocation,         resulting in out-of-bounds writes. This could cause applications utilizing         GLib for string conversion to crash or become unstable.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     2.66.8-1+deb11u8.

    We recommend that you upgrade your glib2.0 packages.
