Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.893044
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-3044-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'glib2.0' package(s) announced via the DLA-3044-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'glib2.0' package(s) announced via the DLA-3044-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several security vulnerabilities were found in glib2.0, a general-purpose utility library for the GNOME environment.

CVE-2021-27218

If g_byte_array_new_take() was called with a buffer of 4GB or more on a 64-bit platform, the length would be truncated modulo 2**32, causing unintended length truncation.

CVE-2021-27219

The function g_bytes_new has an integer overflow on 64-bit platforms due to an implicit cast from 64 bits to 32 bits. The overflow could potentially lead to memory corruption.

CVE-2021-28153

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.)

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.50.3-2+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your glib2.0 packages.

For the detailed security status of glib2.0 please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references]

Solution:
