Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libsoup' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: libsoup is an HTTP client/library implementation for GNOME. A directory traversal flaw was found in libsoup's SoupServer.

(CVE-2011-2524) All users of libsoup should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. All running applications using libsoup's SoupServer must be restarted for the update to take effect.
