Synopsis
The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.
Description
This update for glib2 fixes the following issues :
Security issues fixed :
CVE-2018-16428: Do not do a NULL pointer dereference (crash). Avoid that, at the cost of introducing a new translatable error message (bsc#1107121).
CVE-2018-16429: Fixed out-of-bounds read vulnerability ing_markup_parse_context_parse() (bsc#1107116).
Non-security issue fixed: various GVariant parsing issues have been resolved (bsc#1111499)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
