    An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

    Description:


    This update for libmicrohttpd fixes the following issues:

    - CVE-2013-7038: The MHD_http_unescape function in libmicrohttpd might
    have allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a
    denial of service (crash) via unspecified vectors that trigger an
    out-of-bounds read. (bsc#854443)
    - CVE-2013-7039: Stack-based buffer overflow in the MHD_digest_auth_check
    function in libmicrohttpd, when MHD_OPTION_CONNECTION_MEMORY_LIMIT is
    set to a large value, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long URI in an
    authentication header. (bsc#854443)

    - Fixed various bugs found during a 2017 audit, which are more hardening
    measures and not security issues. (bsc#1041216)
