Posted Aug 11, 2017
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-2459-01 - The libsoup packages provide an HTTP client and server library for GNOME. Security Fix: A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was discovered within the HTTP processing of libsoup. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to a server using the libsoup HTTP server functionality or by tricking a user into connecting to a malicious HTTP server with an application using the libsoup HTTP client functionality.
