CVE-2026-86469
Discovered by AISLEPUBLISHEDCWE-59
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.
