Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference in the g_tls_bio_new_from_iostream and g_tls_bio_new_from_datagram_based functions. An attacker can cause a denial of service by triggering an out-of-memory condition that leads to writing to an invalid memory location.

Note: This bug will not affect most Linux distributions, because the OpenSSL backend is not built by default.
