CVE-2009-0585 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the soup_base64_encode function in soup-misc.c in libsoup 2.x.x before 2.2.x, and 2.x before 2.24, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string that is converted to a base64 representation.. EPSS estimates a 4.02% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
