NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glib2-tests package and not the glib2-tests package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in GLib, which is vulnerable to an integer overflow in the g_string_insert_unichar() function. When the position at which to insert the character is large, the position will overflow, leading to a buffer underwrite.
