CVE-2026-58013 — Glib: buffer over-read in glib/giochannel.c via "g_io_channel_read_line_backend"

Affected: GNOME GLib, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extended Lifecycle Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 Advanced Mission Critical Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 Extended Update Support Long-Life Add-On, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Advanced Mission Critical Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Extended Update Support Long-Life Add-On, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Telecommunications Update Service and 16 more

A flaw was found in GLib. A buffer over-read can occur in g_io_channel_read_line_backend() in the giochannel.c file when a custom line terminator with a length greater than one is set, causing memcmp to read past the GString buffer. This vulnerability can cause a minor information disclosure of 7 bytes or a denial of service when the buffer over-read crosses a page boundary.

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS: glib2.0, Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: glib2.0, Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS: glib2.0, Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS: glib2.0, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: glib2.0, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: glib2.0, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: glib2.0

It was discovered that GLib's GDBus authentication mechanism failed to enforce length limitations on data lines read from a client. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via resource exhaustion. (CVE-2026-15588)

It was discovered that the xdgmime library in GLib had a heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker-controlled MIME magic file could cause an out-of-bounds write on little-endian systems. (CVE-2026-16118)

It was discovered that GLib had an off-by-one error in the GVariant serialiser. An attacker could use this to cause an out-of-bounds read, leading to information disclosure or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-58010)

It was discovered that GLib had an out-of-bounds read in GDateTime. An attacker could use this to corrupt date output and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-58011)

It was discovered that GLib's g_regex_replace() function had a buffer over-read when used with the G_REGEX_RAW flag. An attacker could use this to cause information disclosure or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-58012)

It was discovered that GLib's GIOChannel had a buffer over-read when using a custom line terminator. An attacker could use this to cause information disclosure or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-58013)

It was discovered that GLib's GKeyFile had an off-by-one error when loading a key file with an empty value. An attacker could use this to cause an out-of-bounds access or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-58014)

It was discovered that GLib's DBU…
