Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2009-03-15 11:37:56 UTC 
CVE-2009-0585 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-0585):
  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.

Those versions are long gone (2005'ish).
Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-15 21:00:53 UTC 
the summary sounded strange so I read the cve report, it is talking about <2.2:2.2 and <2.4:2.4 so we are indeed ok.
Comment 3 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2009-03-15 22:05:59 UTC 
Sorry, 2.4.1 sounded smaller than 2.24, and I didn't investigate... :/

no problem better be aware of something that could have been a problem than not of one that is :).
