Fedora Core 6: 2007-109 Critical: Libsoup HTTP Header Crash

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 to the latest libsoup 2.2 release.

This release fixes a security flaw that causes the libsoup

server to crash when it receives a malformed HTTP GET header.

- Update to 2.2.99
