Descriptions
A flaw was found in libsoup. When libsoup clients encounter an HTTP redirect, they mistakenly send the HTTP Authorization header to the new host that the redirection points to. This allows the new host to impersonate the user to the original host that issued the redirect.
Tan Wei Chong discovered that libsoup incorrectly handled memory when parsing HTTP request headers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to send a maliciously crafted HTTP request to the server, causing a denial of service. Alon Zahavi discovered that libsoup incorrectly parsed video files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to send a maliciously crafted HTTP response back to the client, causing a denial of service, or leading to undefined behavior.
