Overview

CVE-2026-1485 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on January 27, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.8 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.8, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

A flaw was found in Glib's content type parsing logic. This buffer underflow vulnerability occurs because the length of a header line is stored in a signed integer, which can lead to integer wraparound for very large inputs. This results in pointer underflow and out-of-bounds memory access. Exploitation requires a local user to install or process a specially crafted treemagic file, which can lead to local denial of service or application instability.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
