ALAS2023-2025-1311


Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS2023-2025-1311
Advisory Released Date: 2025-12-08
Advisory Updated Date: 2025-12-08
Severity: Important

Issue Overview:

A heap-based buffer overflow problem was found in glib through an incorrect calculation of buffer size in the g_escape_uri_string() function. If the string to escape contains a very large number of unacceptable characters (which would need escaping), the calculation of the length of the escaped string could overflow, leading to a potential write off the end of the newly allocated string. (CVE-2025-13601)


Affected Packages:

glib2


Issue Correction:
Run dnf update glib2 --releasever 2023.9.20251208 or dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2025-1311 --releasever 2023.9.20251208 to update your system.
