NOTE: this issue may be disputed by the vendor; the existence of the g_str_hash function is not a vulnerability in the library, because callers of g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full can specify an arbitrary hash function that is appropriate for the application.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-310"],"references":["http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655044","http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2003-May/msg00111.html","http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/01/10/12","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772720","http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655044"],"products":["gnome:glib"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T19:59:31.623151214+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2012-0039","score":0.02043,"percentile":0.81167,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
