Glib: buffer underflow on glib through glib/gstring.c via function g_string_insert_unichar
02 Description
Glib: buffer underflow on glib through glib/gstring.c via function g_string_insert_unichar
03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
- Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 0.63% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 50.3% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 4.8 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L
- NVD analysis status
- Deferred. NVD last modified this record on 2026-09-21.
- Red Hat severity
- Moderate. Red Hat's rating for its own products, not a CVSS rating.
Exploit-prediction scores from FIRST. Independent scoring and analysis status from the NVD. Vendor severity from Red Hat. Exploitation assessment and catalog membership from CISA.
