_______________________________________________________________________

Package : glib2.0
Date : March 26, 2009
Affected: 2008.0, 2008.1, 2009.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Multiple integer overflows in GLib's Base64 encoding and decoding
functions enable attackers (possibly remote ones, depending on
the applications glib2 is linked against with - mostly GNOME ones)
either to cause denial of service and to execute arbitrary code via
an untrusted input (CVE-2008-4316).

This update provide the fix for that security issue.
