Answer in brief
CVE-2026-1484 records a Medium severity (CVSS 4.2) vulnerability in Glib: integer overflow leading to buffer underflow and out-of-bounds write in glib g_base64_encode(). The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Red Hat/bootc (generic), Red Hat/glib2 (generic), Red Hat/glycin-loaders (generic), Red Hat/librsvg2 (generic) and additional mapped packages. Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 4.2. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

A flaw was found in the GLib Base64 encoding routine when processing very large input data. Due to incorrect use of integer types during length calculation, the library may miscalculate buffer boundaries. This can cause memory writes outside the allocated buffer. Applications that process untrusted or extremely large Base64 input using GLib may crash or behave unpredictably.
