Subject: CVE request: Invalid pointer dereference in the GNOME librest library
The OAuth implementation in librest, a helper library for RESTful
services part of the GNOME project, incorrectly truncates the pointer
returned by the rest_proxy_call_get_url function call, leading to an
application crash, or worse.
Upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742644
Commit: https://git.gnome.org/browse/librest/commit/?id=b50ace7738ea038

The security impact was noted in 2015, although the bug was fixed in 2014.
