--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-253 2007-02-19 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product : Fedora Core 5 Name : libsoup Version : 2.2.96 Release : 2.fc5 Summary : Soup, an HTTP library implementation Description : 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:

This release fixes a security flaw that can cause the libsoup server to crash when it receives a malformed HTTP GET header. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu Feb 1 2007 Matthew Barnes mbarnes@redhat.com - 2.2.96-2.fc5 - Add patch for RH bug #223143 (CVE-2006-5876, Remote DoS). * Mon Jul 31 2006 Matthew Barnes mbarnes@redhat.com - 2.2.96-1.fc5.1 - Update to 2.2.96 * Tue May 30 2006 Matthew Barnes mbarnes@redhat.com - 2.2.93-1.fc5.1 - Update to 2.2.93
