GTlsClientConnection skips hostname verification of the server’s TLS certificate if the application fails to specify the expected server identity.
There may be a breach of integrity or confidentiality in connections made using GLib Networking.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All GLib Networking users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/glib-networking-2.62.4"
