CVE Published:

Summary

The keyfile settings backend in GNOME GLib prior to version 2.60.0 is vulnerable due to insufficient restriction on directory and file permissions. The implementation creates directories and files with overly permissive settings: directories are assigned 0777 permissions, while files inherit default permissions. This lack of restriction can lead to unauthorized access and potential exploitation, similar to other known vulnerabilities.
