An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.8. When g_file_replace() is used with G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION to replace a path that is a dangling symlink, it incorrectly also creates the target of the symlink as an empty file, which could conceivably have security relevance if the symlink is attacker-controlled. (If the path is a symlink to a file that already exists, then the contents of that file correctly remain unchanged.)

 https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/usn-4764-1 USN-4764-1 — glib2.0 vulnerability 2026-10-10T21:35:21.218407+00:00

Affected: Ubuntu:16.04:LTS: glib2.0, Ubuntu:18.04:LTS: glib2.0, Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: glib2.0

It was discovered that GLib incorrectly handled certain symlinks when replacing files. If a user or automated system were tricked into extracting a specially crafted file with File Roller, a remote attacker could possibly create files outside of the intended directory.
