glib-networking vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 19.10
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

Fraudulent security certificates could allow sensitive
information to be exposed when accessing the Internet.

Software Description:
- glib-networking: Network extensions for GLib

Details:

It was discovered that glib-networking skipped hostname certificate
verification if the application failed to specify the server
identity. A remote attacker could use this to perform a
person-in-the-middle attack and expose sensitive information.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
  glib-networking                 2.64.2-1ubuntu0.1
