CVE-2021-28153

First published: Thu Mar 11 2021(Updated: )

GNOME GLib could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when g_file_replace() function is used with G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION to replace a path that is a dangling symlink. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted ZIP archive, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to overwrite arbitrary files on the sytem.
