Package name libsoup
Date January 26th, 2007
Advisory ID MDKSA-2007:029
Affected versions CS3.0, 2006.0, 2007.0
Synopsis Updated libsoup packages fix DoS vulnerability

Problem Description

The soup_headers_parse function in soup-headers.c for libsoup HTTP
library before 2.2.99 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (crash) via malformed HTTP headers, probably involving missing
fields or values.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
