CVE-2020-36774

A flaw was found in Glade, where the glade_gtk_box_post_create() function in plugins/gtk+/glade-gtk-box.c mishandled widget rebuilding for GladeGtkBox, potentially leading to an application crash. This flaw allows a malicious user to cause a denial of service.

The identified flaw in Glade, specifically within the glade_gtk_box_post_create() function, is assessed as a low-severity issue rather than a moderate one due to several factors. Firstly, the flaw primarily manifests as a potential application crash, which, while disruptive, does not directly lead to the execution of arbitrary code or compromise of sensitive data. Additionally, exploitation of the vulnerability requires the ability to manipulate the Glade environment, limiting its practical impact to scenarios where the attacker already has sufficient access to the system. Furthermore, the flaw is constrained to a specific function within the GTK+ plugin for Glade, reducing its overall scope and potential for widespread impact across the application.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
