Summary

CVE-2026-0988

Codean Labs found missing validation of offset and count parameters in the
g_buffered_input_stream_peek() function can lead to an integer overflow

overflow results in an incorrect size being passed to memcpy(), triggering
a buffer overflow. This can cause application crashes, leading to a Denial
of Service (DoS).

or behave unpredictably.
