Buffer overflow in Gnome GLib - CVE-2025-14087

Vulnerability identifier: #VU119958

CSH Severity: High

CVSS v4: 8.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-14087

CWE-ID: CWE-119

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the bytestring_parse() and string_parse() functions of the GVariant parser when processing maliciously crafted input strings. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
