GSocketClient in GNOME GLib through 2.62.4 may occasionally connect directly
to a target address instead of connecting via a proxy server when configured
to do so, because the proxy_addr field is mishandled. This bug is timing-dependent
and may occur only sporadically depending on network delays. The greatest security
relevance is in use cases where a proxy is used to help with privacy/anonymity,
even though there is no technical barrier to a direct connection.
