Description Lubomir Kundrak 2007-01-17 23:27:16 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #223143 +++

Description of problem:

Programs using libsoup Server code attempts to dereference NULL
pointer upon receival of a header that looks like this:

"GET something\000something\r\n"

Affected code is used just by Rhythmbox's daap plugin in FC{5,6} and RHEL5
Also you can use seahorse from Extras to reproduce the issue

See the debian bugreport for details.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run rhythmbox and enable the daap server
2. echo -e "GET abcd\000efgh" |telnet localhost daap
3. Correct the line above, for I haven't tried it :)
  
Additional info:

Upstream completly rewrote the affected functions. Dunno if debian did
their own patches, but they issued a DSA for that.

Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2007-01-18 15:40:49 UTC

This has been fixed in libsoup-2.2.99.  Fedora Core 6 currently has 2.2.98.

I'll address this by pushing 2.2.99 as a Fedora Core 6 update.

Comment 2 Fedora Update System 2007-01-22 17:11:37 UTC

libsoup-2.2.99-1.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue.  If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2007-01-29 16:11:16 UTC

libsoup-2.2.99-1.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue.  If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2007-01-29 16:18:58 UTC

Closing as CURRENTRELEASE.

Comment 5 Josh Bressers 2007-02-01 15:55:01 UTC

I'm reopening this ticket as there has not yet been a FC5 update for libsoup
(we'll use this one bug to track both as it's a bit easier).

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2007-02-19 17:12:17 UTC

libsoup-2.2.96-2.fc5 has been pushed for fc5, which should resolve this issue.  If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2007-02-19 17:23:01 UTC
