CVE-2011-2524
Directory traversal vulnerability in soup-uri.c in SoupServer in libsoup before 2.35.4 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a %2e%2e (encoded dot dot) in a URI.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.93%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
