Roland Lezuo and Josselin Mouette discovered that the libsoup HTTP
library performs insufficient sanitising when parsing HTTP headers,
which might lead to denial of service.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.3-2sarge1.
For the upcoming stable distribution (etch) this problem has been
fixed in version 2.2.98-2.
