Echo: libsoup3: security update to 3.6.6-1+e4

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457778

Description

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

- A flaw was found in libsoup’s caching mechanism, SoupCache, where the HTTP Vary header is ignored when
evaluating cached responses. This header ensures that responses vary appropriately based on request
headers such as language or authentication. Without this check, cached content can be incorrectly reused
across different requests, potentially exposing sensitive user information. While the issue is unlikely to
affect everyday desktop use, it could result in confidentiality breaches in proxy or multi-user
environments. (CVE-2025-9901)

Solution

Update the libsoup3 library and its related packages to version 3.6.6-1+e4 or later.
