Descriptions

An exploitable stack based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the GNOME libsoup 2.58. A specially crafted HTTP request can cause a stack overflow resulting in remote code execution. An attacker can send a special HTTP request to the vulnerable server to trigger this vulnerability.

Existe una vulnerabilidad explotable de desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en GNOME libsoup 2.58. Una petición HTTP especialmente manipulada puede provocar un desbordamiento de pila que daría lugar a la ejecución remota de código. Un atacante puede enviar una petición HTTP especial al servidor vulnerable para desencadenar esta vulnerabilidad.

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was discovered within the HTTP processing of libsoup. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to a server using the libsoup HTTP server functionality or by tricking a user into connecting to a malicious HTTP server with an application using the libsoup HTTP client functionality.
