EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : glib2 (EulerOS-SA-2019-2588)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 132123

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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)

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

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected glib2 packages.
