Debian Security Advisory DSA-1748-1 security@debian.org

Package : libsoup
Vulnerability : integer overflow
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CVE-2009-0585
Debian Bugs : 520039
It was discovered that libsoup, an HTTP library implementation in C,
handles large strings insecurely via its Base64 encoding functions. This
could possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.98-2+etch1.
The stable distribution (lenny) is not affected by this issue.
The testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid)
are not affected by this issue.
We recommend that you upgrade your libsoup packages.
