Amazon Linux 2023 : glib2, glib2-devel, glib2-static (ALAS2023-2025-1069)

low Nessus Plugin ID 241779

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1069 advisory.

 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)

 A flaw was found in how GLib's GString manages memory when adding data to strings. If a string is already very large, combining it with more input can cause a hidden overflow in the size calculation. This makes the system think it has enough memory when it doesn't. As a result, data may be written past the end of the allocated memory, leading to crashes or memory corruption. (CVE-2025-6052)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'dnf update glib2 --releasever 2023.8.20250707' to update your system.
