NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glib2-doc package and not the glib2-doc package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Glib's content type parsing logic. This buffer underflow vulnerability occurs because the length of a header line is stored in a signed integer, which can lead to integer wraparound for very large inputs. This results in pointer underflow and out-of-bounds memory access. Exploitation requires a local user to install or process a specially crafted treemagic file, which can lead to local denial of service or application instability.
