CentOS Linux 7 [TuxCare] Security Update: libsoup / libsoup-devel Multiple Vulnerabilities (CENTOS7:CLSA-2025:1762792127)

high Nessus Plugin ID 360136

Synopsis

The CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2025:1762792127 advisory.

- A flaw was found in libsoup. The SoupWebsocketConnection may accept a large WebSocket message, which may cause libsoup to allocate memory and lead to a denial of service (DoS). (CVE-2025-32049)

- A flaw was found in libsoup, where the soup_multipart_new_from_message() function is vulnerable to an out- of-bounds read. This flaw allows a malicious HTTP client to induce the libsoup server to read out of bounds. (CVE-2025-32914)

- A flaw was found in the soup_multipart_new_from_message() function of the libsoup HTTP library, which is commonly used by GNOME and other applications to handle web communications. The issue occurs when the library processes specially crafted multipart messages. Due to improper validation, an internal calculation can go wrong, leading to an integer underflow. This can cause the program to access invalid memory and crash. As a result, any application or server using libsoup could be forced to exit unexpectedly, creating a denial-of-service (DoS) risk. (CVE-2025-4948)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory CENTOS7:CLSA-2025:1762792127.
