There is no fixed version for Centos:6 glib2-doc.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glib2-doc package and not the glib2-doc package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in glib. Missing validation of offset and count parameters in the g_buffered_input_stream_peek() function can lead to an integer overflow during length calculation. When specially crafted values are provided, this overflow results in an incorrect size being passed to memcpy(), triggering a buffer overflow. This can cause application crashes, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
