Description Lubomir Kundrak 2007-01-17 23:17:33 UTC 
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.

This was fixed in libsoup-2.2.99.  I'll backport the upstream changes.
