NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glib2-debugsource package and not the glib2-debugsource package as distributed by RHEL.

gio/gsocketclient.c in GNOME GLib 2.59.2 does not ensure that a parent GTask remains alive during the execution of a connection-attempting enumeration, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (g_socket_client_connected_callback mishandling and application crash) via a crafted web site, as demonstrated by GNOME Web (aka Epiphany).
