Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for glib2.0.

CVE-2026-16118[0]:
| A flaw was found in xdgmime. A heap-based buffer overflow can be
| triggered in _xdg_mime_magic_parse_magic_line() in the
| xdgmimemagic.c file on little-endian systems when an attacker-
| controlled MIME magic file in a user-writable XDG data location
| (e.g., in the $XDG_DATA_HOME/mime/magic path) is parsed by an
| application performing MIME type detection (e.g., via
| g_content_type_guess()). When performing byte-swap, incorrect
| pointer arithmetic on the write side causes an out-of-bounds write
| of 2 bytes, resulting in an application crash or memory corruption.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
