"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1776329620 advisory.
- A flaw was found in glib. This vulnerability allows a heap buffer overflow and denial-of-service (DoS) via
an integer overflow in GLib's GIO (GLib Input/Output) escape_byte_string() function when processing
malicious file or remote filesystem attribute values. (CVE-2025-14512)
- A flaw was found in glib. An integer overflow during temporary file creation leads to an out-of-bounds
memory access, allowing an attacker to potentially perform path traversal or access private temporary file
content by creating symbolic links. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to manipulate file paths
and access unauthorized data. The core issue stems from insufficient validation of file path lengths
during temporary file operations. (CVE-2025-7039)
- A flaw was found in glib. Missing validation of offset and count parameters in the
g_buffered_input_stream_peek() function can lead to an integer overflow during length calculation. When
specially crafted values are provided, this overflow results in an incorrect size being passed to
memcpy(), triggering a buffer overflow. This can cause application crashes, leading to a Denial of Service
(DoS). (CVE-2026-0988)
- A flaw was found in the GLib Base64 encoding routine when processing very large input data. Due to
incorrect use of integer types during length calculation, the library may miscalculate buffer boundaries.
This can cause memory writes outside the allocated buffer. Applications that process untrusted or
extremely large Base64 input using GLib may crash or behave unpredictably. (CVE-2026-1484)
- A flaw was found in Glib's content type parsing logic. This buffer underflow vulnerability occurs because
the length of a header line is stored in a signed integer, which can lead to integer wraparound for very
large inputs. This results in pointer underflow and out-of-bounds memory access. Exploitation requires a
local user to install or process a specially crafted treemagic file, which can lead to local denial of
service or application instability. (CVE-2026-1485)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
