Echo: glib2.0: security update to 2.84.4-3~deb13u3+e5

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461210

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A flaw was found in xdgmime. A heap-based buffer overflow can be triggered in
 _xdg_mime_magic_parse_magic_line() in the xdgmimemagic.c file on little-endian systems when an attacker-
 controlled MIME magic file in a user-writable XDG data location (e.g., in the $XDG_DATA_HOME/mime/magic
 path) is parsed by an application performing MIME type detection (e.g., via g_content_type_guess()). When
 performing byte-swap, incorrect pointer arithmetic on the write side causes an out-of-bounds write of 2
 bytes, resulting in an application crash or memory corruption. (CVE-2026-16118)

Solution

Update the glib2.0 library and its related packages to version 2.84.4-3~deb13u3+e5 or later.
