A vulnerability was found in libsoup's HTTP/2 protocol implementation. The library fails to correctly release memory context blocks under specific stream termination conditions, such as when an HTTP/2 connection encounters window exhaustion or explicit stream resets. A remote, unauthenticated attacker acting as a malicious network peer can trick the connection engine into allocating stream states that are subsequently leaked during cleanup. Over a sustained period, this flaw allows the remote attacker to consume the system's heap allocations incrementally, triggering a denial of service (DoS) through an ultimate Out-of-Memory (OOM) application crash.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - A vulnerability was found in libsoup's HTTP/2 protocol implementation. The library fails to correctly
    release memory context blocks under specific stream termination conditions, such as when an HTTP/2
    connection encounters window exhaustion or explicit stream resets. A remote, unauthenticated attacker
    acting as a malicious network peer can trick the connection engine into allocating stream states that are
    subsequently leaked during cleanup. Over a sustained period, this flaw allows the remote attacker to
    consume the system's heap allocations incrementally, triggering a denial of service (DoS) through an
    ultimate Out-of-Memory (OOM) application crash. (CVE-2026-15713)

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3144 advisory.

    The fix for CVE-2026-0716 (commit 6ff7ef0, libsoup 3.6.6) placed the integer overflow guard inside the if     (masked) block, leaving unmasked server-to-client frames unprotected. A malicious WebSocket server can     send a crafted unmasked frame with a payload length near UINT64_MAX to trigger an OOB read in a libsoup-     based client when max_incoming_payload_size is set to 0. (CVE-2026-12478)

    SoupAuthManager caches proxy authentication credentials without scoping them to the proxy authority     (host:port). When the proxy configuration changes (e.g., via system settings or WPAD), cached Proxy-     Authorization headers from the previous proxy are sent to the new proxy, leaking credentials.
    (CVE-2026-12547)

    A heap out-of-bounds read flaw was found in libsoup. When parsing multipart HTTP messages, an integer type     mismatch between the caller and soup_headers_parse() can cause the length parameter to be incorrectly     truncated, leading to a heap buffer over-read. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an     application using libsoup or potentially disclose heap memory contents. (CVE-2026-12548)

    The fix for CVE-2026-2443 was regressed by a subsequent rework commit that replaced specific overflow     checks with a general signed comparison. When a client sends a Range request with a suffix length     exceeding the content size, the resulting negative start value is not properly clamped, leading to     malformed HTTP 206 responses and log flooding. (CVE-2026-12549)

    A heap buffer over-read vulnerability was discovered in libsoup's HTTP/2 connection tracking framework.
    When the library processes an HTTP/2 GOAWAY frame, it improperly handles the Additional Debug Data     payload by assuming the data stream is a safely NUL-terminated C-string. Because the parser lacks strict     length-boundary verification before reading this data, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can     intentionally send a malformed GOAWAY frame missing the appropriate null delimiter. This causes the     library to read past the end of the allocated buffer, triggering an application crash that results in a     denial of service (DoS), or potentially exposing fragments of memory contents. (CVE-2026-15712)

    A vulnerability was found in libsoup's HTTP/2 protocol implementation. The library fails to correctly     release memory context blocks under specific stream termination conditions, such as when an HTTP/2     connection encounters window exhaustion or explicit stream resets. A remote, unauthenticated attacker     acting as a malicious network peer can trick the connection engine into allocating stream states that are     subsequently leaked during cleanup. Over a sustained period, this flaw allows the remote attacker to     consume the system's heap allocations incrementally, triggering a denial of service (DoS) through an     ultimate Out-of-Memory (OOM) application crash. (CVE-2026-15713)

    An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in libsoup's multipart processing subsystem. The flaw exists     in the soup_multipart_input_stream_read_headers() function inside soup-multipart-input-stream.c, which     does not adequately restrict or validate the size of incoming multipart boundary strings. When processing     a crafted HTTP response containing a malformed or oversized boundary parameter, the internal stream reader     reads past the allocated buffer bounds. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this behavior to     cause a service denial (DoS) through application failure or potentially read fragments of unauthorized     memory metadata. (CVE-2026-15714)

    A flaw was found in libsoup. After a CONNECT tunnel is established through an HTTP proxy, libsoup     incorrectly attaches the Proxy-Authorization header to subsequent HTTPS requests sent through that tunnel     to the destination server. This allows the destination server to capture proxy credentials, leading to     information disclosure. (CVE-2026-66339)

    A flaw was found in libsoup's SoupServer HTTP Range header processing. The sort_ranges() comparator in     soup-message-headers.c truncates a 64-bit subtraction result to 32-bit int, flipping the sign for range     offsets differing by more than INT_MAX. This causes silent omission of requested byte ranges from HTTP 206     Partial Content responses on resources larger than approximately 2 GB. (CVE-2026-77014)

    An algorithmic complexity flaw exists in libsoup's HTTP Range header processing that persists after the     CVE-2025-32907 fix.

    CVE-2025-32907 addressed memory amplification when a client repeated the same range many times in a single     Range header. Commit 9bb92f7a corrected merge correctness in soup_message_headers_get_ranges_internal() in     libsoup/soup-message-headers.c, but the coalescing loop still removes merged ranges using     g_array_remove_index() for each coalesced element. Because GArray is contiguous, each mid-array removal     performs an O(N) memmove. When many identical satisfiable ranges are supplied (for example bytes=0-0     repeated thousands of times), the loop performs O(N2) work coalescing them into a single range.

    The vulnerable path is reachable server-side from handle_partial_get() in libsoup/server/http1/soup-     server-message-io-http1.c when a SoupServer handler returns HTTP 200 with a non-empty body. No     authentication is required. The number of ranges is bounded only by the maximum request header size (~100     KiB), allowing roughly 25,000 ranges per request. Reporter measurements on libsoup HEAD containing the     CVE-2025-32907 fix show ~90 ms single-core CPU per such request at the wire maximum, blocking the server's     event loop for that duration.

    This is a CPU exhaustion / availability issue only. No memory corruption or information disclosure occurs.

    Affected: libsoup versions containing the CVE-2025-32907 fix but not merge request !550.Fixed upstream: MR     !550 merged 2026-08-20, replacing per-element removal with O(N) in-place compaction and rejecting Range     headers requesting more than 200 ranges.Upstream report:
    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsoup/-/issues/538Related: CVE-2025-32907 (CVE-2026-77680)

    A flaw was found in libsoup. A malicious HTTP/2 server or a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacker can exploit     a heap use-after-free vulnerability in the HTTP/2 client implementation. This occurs when a GNOME     application uploads a file using HTTP/2, and the server sends a GOAWAY frame while the file body is being     read asynchronously. This can lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in information disclosure     or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2026-85197)

    A flaw was found in libsoup. When a client sends an HTTP/2 request body from a non-pollable input stream,     the library can buffer more data than the current flow-control window later allows. A malicious HTTP/2     server can shrink SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE while that buffered read is still in progress. The client     then copies the full buffer into a smaller DATA callback without a runtime bounds check, which can abort     the process or fail the HTTP/2 session. (CVE-2026-85534)
