A flaw was found in libsoup, an HTTP client/server library. This HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerability arises from non-RFC-compliant parsing in the soup_filter_input_stream_read_line() logic, where libsoup accepts malformed chunk headers, such as lone line feed (LF) characters instead of the required carriage return and line feed (CRLF). A remote attacker can exploit this without authentication or user interaction by sending specially crafted chunked requests. This allows libsoup to parse and process multiple HTTP requests from a single network message, potentially leading to information disclosure.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:2314-1 advisory.

    This update for libsoup fixes the following issues

    - CVE-2026-1801: HTTP Request Smuggling in soup_filter_input_stream_read_line() (bsc#1257649).
    - CVE-2026-4271: use-after-free in the HTTP/2 server when user signal handlers disconnect connections     during callback       execution (bsc#1259767).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the libsoup packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    A flaw was found in libsoup, an HTTP client/server library. This HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerability     arises from non-RFC-compliant parsing in the soup_filter_input_stream_read_line() logic, where libsoup     accepts malformed chunk headers, such as lone line feed (LF) characters instead of the required carriage     return and line feed (CRLF). A remote attacker can exploit this without authentication or user interaction     by sending specially crafted chunked requests. This allows libsoup to parse and process multiple HTTP     requests from a single network message, potentially leading to information disclosure.(CVE-2026-1801)

    A flaw was found in libsoup's WebSocket frame processing when handling incoming messages. If a non-default     configuration is used where the maximum incoming payload size is unset, the library may read memory     outside the intended bounds. This can cause unintended memory exposure or a crash. Applications using     libsoup's WebSocket support with this configuration may be impacted.(CVE-2026-0716)

    A flaw was identified in libsoup, a widely used HTTP library in GNOME-based systems. When processing     specially crafted HTTP Range headers, the library may improperly validate requested byte ranges. In     certain build configurations, this could allow a remote attacker to access portions of server memory     beyond the intended response. Exploitation requires a vulnerable configuration and access to a server     using the embedded SoupServer component.(CVE-2026-2443)

    A flaw was found in libsoup. An integer underflow vulnerability occurs when processing content with a     zero-length resource, leading to a buffer overread. This can allow an attacker to potentially access     sensitive information or cause an application level denial of service.(CVE-2026-2369)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS libsoup security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1778 advisory.

    OOB Read via Integer Overflow on libsoup through libsoup/websocket/soup-websocket-connection.c via     process_frame() leads to Undefined Behavior (CVE-2026-0716)

    A flaw was found in libsoup, an HTTP client library. This vulnerability, known as CRLF (Carriage Return     Line Feed) Injection, occurs when an HTTP proxy is configured and the library improperly handles URL-     decoded input used to create the Host header. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially     crafted URL containing CRLF sequences, allowing them to inject additional HTTP headers or complete HTTP     request bodies. This can lead to unintended or unauthorized HTTP requests being forwarded by the proxy,     potentially impacting downstream services. (CVE-2026-1467)

    A flaw was found in SoupServer. This HTTP request smuggling vulnerability occurs because SoupServer     improperly handles requests that combine Transfer-Encoding: chunked and Connection: keep-alive headers. A     remote, unauthenticated client can exploit this by sending specially crafted requests, causing SoupServer     to fail to close the connection as required by RFC 9112. This allows the attacker to smuggle additional     requests over the persistent connection, leading to unintended request processing and potential denial-of-     service (DoS) conditions. (CVE-2026-1760)

    A flaw was found in libsoup. This stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability occurs during the parsing of     multipart HTTP responses due to an incorrect length calculation. A remote attacker can exploit this by     sending a specially crafted multipart HTTP response, which can lead to memory corruption. This issue may     result in application crashes or arbitrary code execution in applications that process untrusted server     responses, and it does not require authentication or user interaction. (CVE-2026-1761)

    Denial of Service via use-after-free in SoupServer during TLS handshake (CVE-2026-2436)

    libsoup includes an embedded HTTP/1 server. When a server sits behind a proxy / load balancer, it's     critical that every hop agrees on how request bodies are framed.In the affected code path, libsoup     accepted HTTP/1 requests with ambiguous body framing:

    multiple Content-Length headers (CL.CL)

    Transfer-Encoding: chunked together with Content-Length (TE+CL)

    Different intermediaries pick different framing rules in these cases. If a front-end and back-end     disagree, an attacker can desynchronize the connection and smuggle an extra request through the chain.
    Depending on deployment, this can lead to routing/ACL bypass, cache poisoning, or reaching internal-only     endpoints. (CVE-2026-2708)

    A flaw was found in libsoup. When establishing HTTPS tunnels through a configured HTTP proxy, sensitive     session cookies are transmitted in cleartext within the initial HTTP CONNECT request. A network-positioned     attacker or a malicious HTTP proxy can intercept these cookies, leading to potential session hijacking or     user impersonation. (CVE-2026-5119)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1758 advisory.
