CVE-2025-60018: Glib-networking: out of bound reads on glib-networking through tls/openssl/gtlscertificate-openssl.c via "g_tls_certificate_openssl_get_property()"
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 19/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.30% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib-networking glib-networking 2.80.2.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib-networking glib-networking 2.80.2 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
glib-networking's OpenSSL backend fails to properly check the return value of a call to BIO_write(), resulting in an out of bounds read.
