Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for glib-networking.

CVE-2026-10028[0]:
| A flaw was found in glib-networking. A remote attacker can exploit
| this vulnerability by presenting a specially crafted certificate
| chain to an application that uses glib-networking with the GnuTLS
| backend enabled and performs certificate verification. This crafted
| chain, which contains circular issuer relationships, can cause an
| infinite loop during certificate verification. The unbounded
| traversal consumes excessive CPU resources, leading to a denial of
| service for the affected process or worker.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
