    Krzesimir Nowak discovered that GLib incorrectly handled certain large buffers. A remote attacker could
    use this issue to cause applications linked to GLib to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
    possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-27218)

    Kevin Backhouse discovered that GLib incorrectly handled certain memory allocations. A remote attacker
    could use this issue to cause applications linked to GLib to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
    possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-27219)
