Package : libsoup2.4
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitization
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
Debian bug : 635837
CVE IDs : CVE-2011-2524
It was discovered that libsoup2.4, a HTTP library implementation in C, is
not properly validating input when processing requests made to SoupServer.
A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to access system files via a
directory traversal attack.
For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.4.1-2+lenny1.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.30.2-1+squeeze1.
For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.34.3-1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.34.3-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your libsoup2.4 packages.
