Fix CVE-2026-58010: off-by-one in GVariant tuple offset checking
Add patch for CVE-2026-58010 which fixes an off-by-one error
in the GVariant tuple serialiser's normal form checking code.
The bug allowed a single byte out-of-bounds read when verifying
padding bytes in a short (non-normal) tuple. The patch changes
the offset comparison from `>` to `>=` in
gvs_tuple_is_normal() and adds a regression test. An additional
fix includes `<stdint.h>` in the test file so that the new test
using `uint8_t` compiles correctly against the older glib 2.80.4
codebase.

This allows a single byte out-of-bounds read off the end of the
|
||||
(potentially untrusted) byte array backing a `GVariant` when it’s
|
||||
being checked for normal form.
|
||||
|
||||
I can’t see how this could practically be exploited, but it’s certainly
|
||||
a security bug as the `GVariant` normal form checking code is supposed
|
||||
to be robust to malicious inputs.
|
||||
|
||||
Spotted by linhlhq as #YWH-PGM9867-190, and fix and reproducer provided
|
||||
by them too, thanks. Confirmed and turned into a unit test by me.
