Fedora 41: libsoup3 Update for CVE-2024-52531 moderate: buffer overflow

fedora
Calendar Grey January 29, 2025
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest Fedora 41 release for libsoup3 resolves a critical buffer overflow vulnerability, improving overall system security.
Fix for CVE-2024-52531

Summary

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), but the SOAP parts were removed

long ago.
