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": "[oss-security] 20120110 glib2 hash dos oCert-2011-003", "refsource": "MLIST", "url": "http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/01/10/12" }, { "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": "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772720", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772720" }, { "name": "http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655044", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655044" } ] } }
