libsoup vulnerability

About this tag
The libsoup vulnerability tag covers security flaws in the GNOME HTTP library used across Linux and GNOME-adjacent software. Recent discussions focus on three CVEs: CVE-2026-5119, a cookie leak via HTTP proxy CONNECT enabling session hijacking; CVE-2026-2369, an integer underflow causing buffer overread on zero-length resources leading to information disclosure or denial of service; and CVE-2026-2443, an out-of-bounds read in Range header handling resulting in heap information disclosure. These vulnerabilities affect SoupServer and proxy handling, with broad downstream relevance for enterprise environments relying on libsoup-based components.
