** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ Malformed .desktop files might causes crashes because
+ the returned list is NULL.
+ 
+ [ Test case ]
+  - Download and copy in one of your XDG_DATA_DIRS (i.e. 
~/.local/share/applications)
+    this .desktop file:
+    
https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/files/1656100/org.gnome.frogr.desktop.gz
+  - Run gnome-software it must not crash.
+ 
+ [ Regression potential ]
+ 
+ Missing metadata from .desktop files, but really this is just a null-
+ checks fix, so not really anything might go worse.
+
