Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2009-081 - An integer overflow in libsoup Base64 encoding and decoding functions enables attackers either to cause denial of service and to execute arbitrary code. This update provides the fix for that security issue.
0218a675d4af22d7953ff8facbadd56fc42d0d245c1acf552ca37aaa99c6e354Debian Security Advisory 1748-1 - 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.
1f4b63ede43694dd4314bde597b03ac678c793aeb27c9bb4ba71472bfff595f1Ubuntu Security Notice USN-737-1 - It was discovered that the Base64 encoding functions in libsoup did not properly handle large strings. If a user were tricked into connecting to a malicious server, an attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

A number of other GNOME-related applications which predate glib are vulnerable due to the commonality of this flawed code.
