AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: glib2 / glib2-devel / glib2-doc / glib2-static / glib2-tests (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1770111651)

high Nessus Plugin ID 360230

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1770111651 advisory.

 - 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)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1770111651.
