    CVE-2021-28153

    Summary: An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.8

    Details: An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.8. When `g_file_replace()` is used with `G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION` to replace a path that is a dangling symlink, it incorrectly also creates the target of the symlink as an empty file, which could conceivably have security relevance if the symlink is attacker-controlled. (If the path is a symlink to a file that already exists, then the contents of that file correctly remain unchanged.)
