Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-12548

medium Nessus Plugin ID 329551

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
