Echo: glib2.0: security update to 2.74.6-2+deb12u6

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461994

Description

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

 - GLib 2.31.8 and earlier, when the g_str_hash function is used, computes hash values without restricting
 the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a
 denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table. NOTE:
 this issue may be disputed by the vendor; the existence of the g_str_hash function is not a vulnerability
 in the library, because callers of g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full can specify an arbitrary
 hash function that is appropriate for the application. (CVE-2012-0039)

Solution

Update the glib2.0 library and its related packages to version 2.74.6-2+deb12u6 or later.
