so it might have a CVE already.

I've made the launchpad bug public now. There was no CVE assigned 
in that report.

Thanks.


Shouldn't these all be covered by the libsoup CVE:

libsoup 2.32.2 does not verify certificates at all if an 
application does not explicitly specify a file with trusted root 
CA's. Since that libsoup version relies on the verification
failure to clear the trust flag it always considers ssl connections
as trusted in that case.

Please use CVE-2012-2132 for this issue.
