Detail
| Problem Description: Updated libsoup packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: libsoup is an HTTP client/library implementation for GNOME. A directory traversal flaw was found in libsoup's SoupServer. If an application used SoupServer to implement an HTTP service, a remote attacker who is able to connect to that service could use this flaw to access any local files accessible to that application via a specially-crafted request. (CVE-2011-2524) All users of libsoup should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. All running applications using libsoup's SoupServer must be restarted for the update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 720509 - CVE-2011-2524 libsoup: SoupServer directory traversal flaw |

| 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. |
