A flaw was found in GLib. A state confusion issue exists in g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() in the gio/gdbusintrospection.c file when processing malformed D-Bus introspection XML, specifically with a <node> element nested within other elements like <method>, <signal>, <property> or <arg>. This issue can cause an unsigned integer overflow and lead to an out-of-bounds read, resulting in a denial of service.

Fixes

Solution

No solution given by the vendor.


Workaround

To mitigate this vulnerability, implement input validation to sanitize untrusted D-Bus introspection XML, specifically rejecting malformed structures such as <node> elements improperly nested within <method>, <signal>, <property> or <arg> elements before calling g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml(). Alternatively, restricting the application to only process XML input from trusted, authenticated sources will completely neutralize this issue.
