Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2011-15833

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libsocialweb
Product : Fedora 16
Version : 0.25.20
Release : 1.fc16
URL : http://www.gnome.org/
Summary : A social network data aggregator
Description :
libsocialweb is a social data server which fetches data from the "social web",
such as your friend's blog posts and photos, upcoming events, recently played
tracks, and pending eBay* auctions. It also provides a service to update
your status on web services which support it, such as MySpace* and Twitter*.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
CVE-2011-4129
A security flaw was found in the way the libsocialweb, a social network data
aggregator, performed its initialization when this service start was initiated
by the dbus daemon. Due to a deficiency in a way the libsocialweb service was
initialized, an untrusted (non-SSL) network connection has been opened to remote
Twitter service servers without explicit approval of the user, running the
libsocialweb service on the local host. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
conduct various MITM attacks and potentially alter integrity of the user account
in question.
* libsocialweb: The views will try and fetch content from the web service even
if they aren't configured.
* rest: enforce that the SSL certificate is valid
