Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-7039

low Nessus Plugin ID 256467

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
