About this tag
The libsoup security tag covers vulnerabilities and fixes in the libsoup HTTP library, which is used in GNOME and other Linux environments. Recent discussions focus on three CVEs: CVE-2026-3099, a Digest authentication replay bug in SoupAuthDomainDigest that allows authentication bypass; CVE-2026-0716, an out-of-bounds read in WebSocket frame parsing when payload limits are unset, leading to memory exposure or crash; and CVE-2026-3632, a hostname injection flaw enabling HTTP smuggling and SSRF. These threads highlight the importance of keeping libsoup updated, especially in server or client applications that rely on its HTTP and WebSocket handling.

    CVE-2026-3632 libsoup Hostname Bug: HTTP Smuggling and SSRF Risk

    CVE-2026-3632 is one of those vulnerabilities that looks deceptively small in a vendor advisory and yet raises immediate architectural questions for anyone who ships or depends on HTTP client libraries. The flaw in libsoup centers on malformed hostnames that can inject special characters into...
