CVE-2025-0395

A flaw was found in the GNU C Library (glibc). A buffer overflow condition via the assert() function may be triggered due to glibc not allocating enough space for the assertion failure message string and size information. In certain conditions, a local attacker can exploit this, potentially leading to an application crash or other undefined behavior.

The bug is with glib assert() function that is typically used to identify logic errors in programs. The specific vulnerability stems in not enough being allocated to fit an arbitrary length error statement that is passed to the assert() function. The lack of any check on the string length causes the buffer overflow.
