Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2026-06-30 12:57:28 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

gvs_tuple_is_normal() in glib/gvariant-serialiser.c:1253 has an off-by-one error in its alignment padding check. When checking whether padding bytes are zero, the bounds check uses > instead of >=, allowing a 1-byte out-of-bounds read when offset == value.size.

Comment 1 lpavan 2026-08-12 14:42:41 UTC
This was fixed upstream with the following releases:

- 2.86.5
- 2.88.1
- 2.89.0

Given that Fedora currently ships 2.86.5 or later across all releases, I'm going to close this.
