A flaw was found in GLib. The GVariant deserialization code is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow introduced by the fix for CVE-2023-32665. This bug does not affect any released version of GLib, but does affect GLib distributors who followed the guidance of GLib developers to backport the initial fix for CVE-2023-32665.

An update of the glib package has been released.

The 8u401, 20.3.13, 21.3.9, 11.0.23, 17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22, and perf versions of Java installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the April 2024 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: JavaFX (WebKitGTK)). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u401; Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.13 and 21.3.9. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated     attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise     Edition. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise     Edition.(CVE-2023-41993)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle GraalVM for JDK product of Oracle Java SE (component: Node (Node.js)). Supported     versions that are affected are Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.10, 21.0.2 and 22. Difficult to exploit vulnerability     allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle GraalVM for JDK executes to     compromise Oracle GraalVM for JDK. While the vulnerability is in Oracle GraalVM for JDK, attacks may significantly     impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle GraalVM for JDK accessible data as well     as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle GraalVM for JDK accessible data.
    (CVE-2024-21892)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of     Oracle Java SE (component: Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u401, 8u401-perf,     11.0.23, 17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition:     20.3.13 and 21.3.9. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access     via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition.     Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of     service (partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition.     (CVE-2024-21011)


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

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

  - Rejected reason: Rejected by upstream. (CVE-2023-24593, CVE-2023-25180)

  - A flaw was found in GLib. GVariant deserialization fails to validate that the input conforms to the     expected format, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2023-29499)

  - A flaw was found in GLib. GVariant deserialization is vulnerable to a slowdown issue where a crafted     GVariant can cause excessive processing, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2023-32611)

  - A flaw was found in glib, where the gvariant deserialization code is vulnerable to a denial of service     introduced by additional input validation added to resolve CVE-2023-29499. The offset table validation may     be very slow. This bug does not affect any released version of glib but does affect glib distributors who     followed the guidance of glib developers to backport the initial fix for CVE-2023-29499.

  - 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)

  - The upstream bug report describes this issue as follows: (CVE-2023-29499, CVE-2023-32611, CVE-2023-32665)
