NOTE: this issue may be disputed by the vendor; the existence of the g_str_hash function is not a vulnerability in the library, because callers of g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full can specify an arbitrary hash function that is appropriate for the application." } ] }, "problemtype" : { "problemtype_data" : [ { "description" : [ { "lang" : "eng", "value" : "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references" : { "reference_data" : [ { "name" : "[gtk-devel-list] 20030529 Algorimic Complexity Attack on GLIB 2.2.1", "refsource" : "MLIST", "url" : "http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2003-May/msg00111.html" }, { "name" : "[oss-security] 20120110 glib2 hash dos oCert-2011-003", "refsource" : "MLIST", "url" : "http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/01/10/12" }, { "name" : "http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655044", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655044" }, { "name" : "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772720", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772720" } ] } }
