Discussion

GNOME glib Base64 Encoding and Decoding Multiple Integer Overflow Vulnerabilities

The GNOME glib library is prone to multiple integer-overflow vulnerabilities related to encoding and decoding Base64 data.

Successful exploits may allow remote attackers to cause denial-of-service conditions or potentially execute arbitrary code on computers running the affected library.

The following are vulnerable:

GNOME glib 2.11
GNOME glib 2.12
GStreamer gst-plugins-base prior to 0.10.23
GNOME libsoup prior to 2.2.0
GNOME libsoup prior to 2.24
Evolution Data Server prior to 2.24.5

Additional applications and versions may also be affected.
