CVE-2025-4373
A flaw was found in GLib, which is vulnerable to an integer overflow in the g_string_insert_unichar() function.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.64%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A flaw was found in GLib, which is vulnerable to an integer overflow in the g_string_insert_unichar() function. When the position at which to insert the character is large, the position will overflow, leading to a buffer underwrite.
