I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago.
Here is the code I'm using:

            Gdk.Pixbuf pb;
            #if (GDKPIXBUF_HIGHERTHAN_212)
                var imgstream = new
GLib.MemoryInputStream.from_data(imgdata, null);
                pb = new Gdk.Pixbuf.from_stream(imgstream);
            #else
                FileUtils.set_data(TEMP_IMG, imgdata);
                pb = new Gdk.Pixbuf.from_file(TEMP_IMG);
                File.new_for_path(TEMP_IMG).delete();
            #endif


Hope it helps,
