Package: libglib1.2
Version: 1.2.10-10.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
consider gstrfuncs.c:g_printf_string_upper_bound(): It calculates the number of
bytes to allocate for a string buffer. In the %f format string case, negative
values are possible, generating a Glib ERROR. The attached patch fixes this.
bye,
Roland
