| Impact | Can lead to buffer overflows, incorrect security checks, or unexpected behavior that may be exploitable for code execution. With a CVSS score of 3.7 (LOW), this represents a low risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker provides a large numeric value that, when processed, wraps around to a small value, causing an undersized buffer allocation followed by an overflow. |

A flaw was found in how GLib’s GString manages memory when adding data to strings. If a string is already very large, combining it with more input can cause a hidden overflow in the size calculation. This makes the system think it has enough memory when it doesn’t. As a result, data may be written past the end of the allocated memory, leading to crashes or memory corruption.

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation produces a result that exceeds the maximum value a given integer type can store.
