LIN8-12205 : Security Advisory - glib-2.0 - CVE-2020-6750

Created: Mar 5, 2020    Updated: Mar 25, 2020
Resolved Date: Mar 25, 2020
Found In Version: 8.0.0.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 8
Component/s: Userspace

Description

GSocketClient in GNOME GLib through 2.62.4 may occasionally connect directly to a target address instead of connecting via a proxy server when configured to do so, because the proxy_addr field is mishandled. This bug is timing-dependent and may occur only sporadically depending on network delays. The greatest security relevance is in use cases where a proxy is used to help with privacy/anonymity, even though there is no technical barrier to a direct connection. NOTE: versions before 2.60 are unaffected.
