<p>
|
|
Diego E. Petteno` reported multiple integer overflows in glib/gbase64.c
|
|
when converting a long string from or to a base64 representation.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to perform a
|
|
base64 conversion via an application using GLib, possibly resulting in
|
|
the execution of arbitrary code.
|
|
