Id Description
74135 libsoup SoupServer soup-uri.c HTTP Request Parsing Traversal Arbitrary File A...

libsoup contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to soup-uri.c in the SoupServer feature not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied via HTTP Requests. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to access arbitrary files.
