Descriptions
gio/gsocks4aproxy.c in GNOME GLib before 2.82.1 has an off-by-one error and resultant buffer overflow because SOCKS4_CONN_MSG_LEN is not sufficient for a trailing '\0' character.
A flaw was found in the Glib library. A buffer overflow condition can be triggered in certain conditions due to an off-by-one error in SOCKS4_CONN_MSG_LEN. This issue may lead to an application crash or other undefined behavior.
This update for glib2 fixes the following issues. Fixed a single byte buffer overflow in set_connect_msg. Non-security issue fixed. Fixed error when uninstalling packages.
