A vulnerability was found in GLib2.0, where denial of service caused by handling a malicious serialised variant which is structured to cause allocations or looping superlinear to its serialised size. Applications are at risk if they accept untrusted serialised variants by checking them with g_variant_get_normal_form() (or don’t check them).
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
