- glib2.0 - GLib library of C routines
Details
It was discovered that GLib's GDBus authentication mechanism failed to
enforce length limitations on data lines read from a client. An
unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service
via resource exhaustion. (CVE-2026-15588)
It was discovered that the xdgmime library in GLib had a heap-based
buffer overflow. An attacker-controlled MIME magic file could cause an
out-of-bounds write on little-endian systems. (CVE-2026-16118)
It was discovered that GLib had an off-by-one error in the GVariant
serialiser. An attacker could use this to cause an out-of-bounds read,
leading to information disclosure or a denial of service.
(CVE-2026-58010)
It was discovered that GLib had an out-of-bounds read in GDateTime. An
attacker could use this to corrupt date output and cause a denial of
service....

It was discovered that GLib had an out-of-bounds read in GDateTime. An
attacker could use this to corrupt date output and cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2026-58011)
It was discovered that GLib's g_regex_replace() function had a buffer
over-read when used with the G_REGEX_RAW flag. An attacker could use
this to cause information disclosure or a denial of service.
(CVE-2026-58012)
It was discovered that GLib's GIOChannel had a buffer over-read when
using a custom line terminator. An attacker could use this to cause
information disclosure or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-58013)
It was discovered that GLib's GKeyFile had an off-by-one error when
loading a key file with an empty value. An attacker could use this to
cause an out-of-bounds access or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-58014)
It was discovered that GLib's DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 authentication mechanism
failed to validate the cookie_context parameter. A malicious D-Bus
server could use this to read arbitrary files from the client.
(CVE-2026-58015)
It was discovered that GLib's D-Bus introspection XML parser had a
state confusion issue. An attacker could use this to cause an
out-of-bounds read and denial of service. (CVE-2026-58016)
