3. Description:

 

The rest library was designed to make it easier to access web services that

claim to be RESTful. A RESTful service should have URLs that represent

remote objects, which methods can then be called on.

 

It was found that the OAuth implementation in librest, a helper library for

RESTful services, incorrectly truncated the pointer returned by the

rest_proxy_call_get_url call. An attacker could use this flaw to crash an

application using the librest library. (CVE-2015-2675)

 

All users of rest are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the

update, all applications using librest must be restarted for the update to

take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
