- A flaw was found in GLib. GVariant deserialization fails to validate that the input conforms to the
expected format, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2023-29499)
- A flaw was found in GLib. GVariant deserialization is vulnerable to a slowdown issue where a crafted
GVariant can cause excessive processing, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2023-32611)
- A flaw was found in GLib. GVariant deserialization is vulnerable to an exponential blowup issue where a
crafted GVariant can cause excessive processing, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2023-32665)
