Weaknesses

  • CWE-193: Off-by-one Error

Workarounds

To mitigate this vulnerability, implement input validation to sanitize untrusted key files (such as .desktop or .ini files), specifically rejecting or stripping empty values before calling g_key_file_get_locale_string_list(). Alternatively, restricting the application to only load key files from trusted sources will completely neutralize this issue.
