Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1866-1)

Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'glib2.0' package(s) announced via the DLA-1866-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Various minor issues have been addressed in the GLib library. GLib is a useful general-purpose C library used by projects such as GTK+, GIMP, and GNOME.

CVE-2018-16428

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

CVE-2018-16429

GNOME GLib had an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in g_markup_parse_context_parse() in gmarkup.c, related to utf8_str().

CVE-2019-13012

The keyfile settings backend in GNOME GLib (aka glib2.0) before created 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 did not properly restrict directory (and file) permissions. Instead, for directories, 0777 permissions were used, for files, default file permissions were used. This issue is similar to CVE-2019-12450.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2.42.1-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your glib2.0 packages.
