"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2025:11374 advisory.

    GLib provides the core application building blocks for libraries and applications written in C. It
    provides the core object system used in GNOME, the main loop implementation, and a large set of utility
    functions for strings and common data structures.

    Security Fix(es):

    * glib: buffer overflow in set_connect_msg() (CVE-2024-52533)

    * glib: Buffer Underflow on GLib through glib/gstring.c via function g_string_insert_unichar
    (CVE-2025-4373)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and
    other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
