How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 glib2.0 to version 2.48.2-0ubuntu4.8+esm3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glib2.0 package and not the glib2.0 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in glib, where the gvariant deserialization code is vulnerable to a denial of service introduced by additional input validation added to resolve CVE-2023-29499. The offset table validation may be very slow. This bug does not affect any released version of glib but does affect glib distributors who followed the guidance of glib developers to backport the initial fix for CVE-2023-29499.
