------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3992-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Sean Whitton December 12, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : libsoup2.4 Version : 2.72.0-2+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-52530 CVE-2024-52531 CVE-2024-52532 Debian Bug : 1088812 1089238 1089240

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in libsoup2.4, an HTTP library for Gtk+ programs.

CVE-2024-52530

In some configurations, HTTP request smuggling is possible because null characters at the end of the names of HTTP headers were ignored.

CVE-2024-52531

There was a buffer overflow in applications that perform conversion to UTF-8 in soup_header_parse_param_list_strict. This could lead to memory corruption, crashes or information disclosure.
(Contrary to the CVE description, it is now believed that input received over the network could trigger this.)

CVE-2024-52532

An infinite loop in the processing of WebSocket data from clients could lead to a denial-of-service problem through memory exhaustion.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 2.72.0-2+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libsoup2.4 packages.

For the detailed security status of libsoup2.4 please refer to its security tracker page at:
