What is CVE-2015-2675?

The OAuth implementation in librest prior to version 0.7.93 has a flaw that can lead to a denial of service condition. This occurs through an improperly managed pointer during the execution of the rest_proxy_call_get_url function. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by invoking the EnsureCredentials method associated with a Flickr account in the org.gnome.OnlineAccounts.Account interface. Successful exploitation may result in an application crash, disrupting service availability.
