CVSS v2.0
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
libsoup versions 2.x.x before 2.2.x
libsoup versions 2.x before 2.24
Description
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the
soup base64 encode function, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string that is converted to a base64 representation. This can lead to a disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The exploitation of this issue can be done remotely.Recommendations
For libsoup versions 2.x.x before 2.2.x: Update to version 2.2.x or later to resolve the issue.
For libsoup versions 2.x before 2.24: Update to version 2.24 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
soup base64 encode function until a patch is available.Fix
