Descriptions
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in the libsoup HTTP client library. This flaw can be triggered when a libsoup client receives a 401 (Unauthorized) HTTP response containing a specifically crafted domain parameter within the WWW-Authenticate header. Processing this malformed header can lead to a crash of the client application using libsoup. An attacker could exploit this by setting up a malicious HTTP server. If a user's application using the vulnerable libsoup library connects to this malicious server, it could result in a denial-of-service. Successful exploitation requires tricking a user's client application into connecting to the attacker's malicious server.
Jan Różański discovered that libsoup incorrectly handled certain headers when sending HTTP/2 requests over TLS. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected libsoup3 in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.10, and Ubuntu 25.04. Jan Różański discovered that libsoup incorrectly parsed certain response headers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
