CVE ID : CVE-2026-1485
Published : Jan. 27, 2026, 2:15 p.m. | 1 hour, 7 minutes ago
Description : A flaw was found in Glib's content type parsing logic. This buffer underflow vulnerability occurs because the length of a header line is stored in a signed integer, which can lead to integer wraparound for very large inputs. This results in pointer underflow and out-of-bounds memory access. Exploitation requires a local user to install or process a specially crafted treemagic file, which can lead to local denial of service or application instability.
Severity: 2.8 | LOW
