CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade gnome/librest to version 0.7.93 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The OAuth implementation in librest before 0.7.93 incorrectly truncates the pointer returned by the rest_proxy_call_get_url function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via running the EnsureCredentials method from the org.gnome.OnlineAccounts.Account interface on an object representing a Flickr account.
