Doc Text:
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.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-24 16:57:18 UTC
A heap-buffer-overflow READ occurs in g_io_channel_read_line_backend() at giochannel.c:1831 when a custom line terminator of length > 1 is set via g_io_channel_set_line_term(). The memcmp call reads line_term_len bytes from nextchar, but the loop condition nextchar < lastchar only guarantees 1 byte is available. When nextchar is within line_term_len - 1 bytes of lastchar, memcmp reads past the GString buffer into ASan redzone / unallocated memory.
