Description david 2013-06-06 04:13:55 UTC 
Setting the environment variable G_TLS_GNUTLS_PRIORITY to something invalid, such as BABYCAKES, causes a segfault.

I believe this is due to glib-networking not checking the return value of gnutls_priority_init in function g_tls_connection_gnutls_init_priorities in tls/gnutls/gtlsconnection-gnutls.c

gnutls manpage says:
RETURNS

       On  syntax error GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST is returned, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS
       on success, or an error code.
