Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2020.0118
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2020-0118)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'glib2.0' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0118 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'glib2.0' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0118 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The updated packages fix a security vulnerability:

GSocketClient in GNOME GLib through 2.62.4 may occasionally connect
directly to a target address instead of connecting via a proxy server
when configured to do so, because the proxy_addr field is mishandled.
This bug is timing-dependent and may occur only sporadically depending
on network delays. The greatest security relevance is in use cases
where a proxy is used to help with privacy/anonymity, even though there
is no technical barrier to a direct connection. (CVE-2020-6750)

Affected Software/OS:
'glib2.0' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
4.3

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
