Fedora Core 6 2007-109: libsoup |
||

Check for the version of the libsoup package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2007-109 (libsoup). Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C. It was originally part of a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation called Soup, but the SOAP and non-SOAP parts have now been split into separate packages. libsoup uses the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK applications. This enables GNOME applications to access HTTP servers on the network in a completely asynchronous fashion, very similar to the Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous operation mode is also supported for those who want it). Update Information: Update to the latest libsoup 2.2 release. This release fixes a security flaw that causes the libsoup server to crash when it receives a malformed HTTP GET header. Solution : Get the newest Fedora Updates Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2007 Tenable Network Security |
