Description

Integer overflow in the soup_base64_encode function in soup-misc.c in libsoup 2.x.x before 2.2.x, and 2.x before 2.24, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string that is converted to a base64 representation.

  • oracle-linux-upgrade-evolution28-libsoup
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-evolution28-libsoup-devel
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-libsoup
