The flaw exists in the soup_multipart_input_stream_read_headers() function inside soup-multipart-input-stream.c, which does not adequately restrict or validate the size of incoming multipart boundary strings. When processing a crafted HTTP response containing a malformed or oversized boundary parameter, the internal stream reader reads past the allocated buffer bounds. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this behavior to cause a service denial (DoS) through application failure or potentially read fragments of unauthorized memory metadata.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `libsoup3 (all versions)`\n- `libsoup`\n- `libsoup`\n- `libsoup (all versions)`\n- `libsoup (all versions)`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nTo mitigate this issue, restrict network access to applications that utilize libsoup for processing multipart messages from untrusted sources. Implement firewall rules to limit incoming connections to only trusted clients, thereby reducing the attack surface. If the vulnerable component is part of a service, ensure that the service is not exposed to untrusted networks.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":48,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":35.8,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
