Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2026-06-30 12:57:58 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.

A global-buffer-overflow (out-of-bounds read) exists in GLib's g_date_time_get_ymd() function, triggered when operating on an invalid GDateTime object produced by g_date_time_add_full(). The g_date_time_add_full() function does not validate that the resulting date falls within the supported range (years 1–9999), allowing construction of a GDateTime with a negative or zero days field. When any getter function (e.g., g_date_time_get_month(), g_date_time_get_year()) is subsequently called, the internal g_date_time_get_ymd() routine computes a negative array index, causing a 2-byte OOB read from adjacent global data.

Comment 1 lpavan 2026-08-12 14:48:52 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.
