Race condition In glib2.0

Description

A flaw was found in GLib2. When g_file_replace() is used with G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION and creating the .goutputstream-XXXXXX temporary file fails, the library unlinks the destination and recreates it without exclusive creation or symlink protection. A local attacker who can write to the destination directory can win that race and redirect the write to another file.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
