MGASA-2025-0216 - Updated glib2.0 packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 02 Aug 2025
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2025-0216.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 9
CVE: CVE-2025-6052

Description:
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.
