"The CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1776346717 advisory.

  - file_copy_fallback in gio/gfile.c in GNOME GLib 2.15.0 through 2.61.1 does not properly restrict file
    permissions while a copy operation is in progress. Instead, default permissions are used. (CVE-2019-12450)

  - The keyfile settings backend in GNOME GLib (aka glib2.0) before 2.60.0 creates directories using
    g_file_make_directory_with_parents (kfsb->dir, NULL, NULL) and files using g_file_replace_contents
    (kfsb->file, contents, length, NULL, FALSE, G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION, NULL, NULL, NULL).
    Consequently, it does not properly restrict directory (and file) permissions. Instead, for directories,
    0777 permissions are used; for files, default file permissions are used. This is similar to
    CVE-2019-12450. (CVE-2019-13012)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
