CVE-2020-35457: Integer Overflow or Wraparound

December 14, 2020 (updated July 21, 2021)

** DISPUTED ** GNOME GLib has an integer overflow, that might lead to an out-of-bounds write, in g_option_group_add_entries. NOTE: the vendor’s position is “Realistically this is not a security issue. The standard pattern is for callers to provide a static list of option entries in a fixed number of calls to g_option_group_add_entries().” The researcher states that this pattern is undocumented.
