In GNOME GLib 2.56.1, g_markup_parse_context_end_parse() in gmarkup.c has a NULL pointer dereference.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - glib2: NULL pointer dereference in g_markup_parse_context_end_parse() function in gmarkup.c     (CVE-2018-16428)

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3767-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that GLib incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this issue     to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-16428)

    It was discovered that GLib incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this issue     to access sensitive information. (CVE-2018-16429)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The version of glib2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.56.1-9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2049 advisory.

    In GNOME GLib 2.56.1, g_markup_parse_context_end_parse() in gmarkup.c has a NULL pointer dereference.
    (CVE-2018-16428)

    GNOME GLib 2.56.1 has an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in g_markup_parse_context_parse() in gmarkup.c,     related to utf8_str(). (CVE-2018-16429)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

The version of glib2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.36.3-5.23. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1742 advisory.

    In GNOME GLib 2.56.1, g_markup_parse_context_end_parse() in gmarkup.c has a NULL pointer dereference.
    (CVE-2018-16428)

    GNOME GLib 2.56.1 has an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in g_markup_parse_context_parse() in gmarkup.c,     related to utf8_str(). (CVE-2018-16429)

    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)

    An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.8. When g_file_replace() is used with     G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION to replace a path that is a dangling symlink, it incorrectly also     creates the target of the symlink as an empty file, which could conceivably have security relevance if the     symlink is attacker-controlled. (If the path is a symlink to a file that already exists, then the contents     of that file correctly remain unchanged.) (CVE-2021-28153)

    A flaw was found in glib before version 2.63.6. Due to random charset alias, pkexec can leak content from     files owned by privileged users to unprivileged ones under the right condition. (CVE-2021-3800)

    The upstream bug report describes this issue as follows:

    A vulnerability was found in GLib2.0, where DoS caused by handling a malicious text-form variant which is     structured to cause looping superlinear to its text size. Applications are at risk if they parse untrusted     text-form variants. (CVE-2023-24593)

According to the versions of the glib2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - gio/gsocketclient.c in GNOME GLib 2.59.2 does not     ensure that a parent GTask remains alive during the     execution of a connection-attempting enumeration, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (g_socket_client_connected_callback mishandling and     application crash) via a crafted web site, as     demonstrated by GNOME Web (aka     Epiphany).(CVE-2019-9633)

  - GNOME GLib 2.56.1 has an out-of-bounds read     vulnerability in g_markup_parse_context_parse() in     gmarkup.c, related to utf8_str().(CVE-2018-16429)
