Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALAS-2024-2487
Advisory Release Date: 2024-02-29 10:03 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2024-03-04 12:00 Pacific
Severity:
Low
Issue Overview:
An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.8. When g_file_replace() is used with G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION to replace a path that is a dangling symlink, it incorrectly also creates the target of the symlink as an empty file, which could conceivably have security relevance if the symlink is attacker-controlled. (If the path is a symlink to a file that already exists, then the contents of that file correctly remain unchanged.) (CVE-2021-28153)
Affected Packages:
