CVE-2009-0585
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.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.02%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
