Affected Products:

  * SUSE Linux Micro 6.2

  
  
An update that solves four vulnerabilities can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for glib2 fixes the following issues:

Update to version 2.84.4.

Security issues fixed:

  * CVE-2025-14512: integer overflow in the GIO `escape_byte_string()` function
    when processing malicious files or remote filesystem attribute values can
    lead to denial-of-service (bsc#1254878).
  * CVE-2025-14087: buffer underflow in the GVariant parser `bytestring_parse()`
    and `string_parse()` functions when processing attacker-influenced data may
    lead to crash or code execution (bsc#1254662).
  * CVE-2025-13601: heap-based buffer overflow in the `g_escape_uri_string()`
    function when processing strings with a large number of unacceptable
    characters may lead to crash or code execution (bsc#1254297).
  * CVE-2025-7039: integer overflow when creating temporary files may lead to an
    out-of-bounds memory access that can be used for path traversal or exposure
    of sensitive content in a temporary file (bsc#1249055).

Other issues fixed and changes:

  * Fix GFile leak in `g_local_file_set_display_name` during error handling.
  * Fix incorrect output parameter handling in closure helper of
    `g_settings_bind_with_mapping_closures`.
  * `gfileutils`: fix computation of temporary file name.
  * Fix GFile leak in `g_local_file_set_display_name()`.
  * `gthreadpool`: catch `pool_spawner` creation failure.
  * `gio/filenamecompleter`: fix leaks.
  * `gfilenamecompleter`: fix `g_object_unref()` of undefined value.
