CVE-2026-12548
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A heap out-of-bounds read flaw was found in libsoup. When parsing multipart HTTP messages, an integer type mismatch between the caller and soup_headers_parse() can cause the length parameter to be incorrectly truncated, leading to a heap buffer over-read. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an application using libsoup or potentially disclose heap memory contents.

{
"lang": "es",
"value": "Se encontró una falla de lectura fuera de límites de la pila en libsoup. Al analizar mensajes HTTP multipart, una discrepancia de tipo entero entre la función que llama y soup_headers_parse() puede causar que el parámetro de longitud sea truncado incorrectamente, lo que lleva a una lectura excesiva del búfer de la pila. Un atacante remoto podría usar esta falla para bloquear una aplicación que usa libsoup o potencialmente divulgar el contenido de la memoria de la pila."
