CVE-2025-14181
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The SOAP HTTP client guards its response buffer growth with a check that relies on signed integer overflow, which is undefined behaviour and is not guaranteed to trigger. When the check is optimised away, a malicious SOAP server can make the client allocate a buffer far smaller than the data it then writes into it, producing a heap buffer overflow.

Cuando la comprobación se optimiza y elimina, un servidor SOAP malicioso puede hacer que el cliente asigne un búfer mucho más pequeño que los datos que luego escribe en él, produciendo un desbordamiento de búfer en el montón."
