CVE-2026-10028
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A flaw was found in glib-networking. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by presenting a specially crafted certificate chain to an application that uses glib-networking with the GnuTLS backend enabled and performs certificate verification. This crafted chain, which contains circular issuer relationships, can cause an infinite loop during certificate verification. The unbounded traversal consumes excessive CPU resources, leading to a denial of service for the affected process or worker.

"value": "Se encontró una falla en glib-networking. Un atacante remoto puede explotar esta vulnerabilidad al presentar una cadena de certificados especialmente diseñada a una aplicación que utiliza glib-networking con el backend de GnuTLS habilitado y que realiza la verificación de certificados. Esta cadena diseñada, que contiene relaciones de emisor circulares, puede causar un bucle infinito durante la verificación de certificados. El recorrido ilimitado consume recursos excesivos de CPU, lo que lleva a una denegación de servicio para el proceso o trabajador afectado."
