Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Libsoup library. When Libsoup parses HTTP headers, it ignores null bytes at the end of header names. Thus, `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` is equivalent to `Transfer-Encoding\x00: chunked`. This issue allows request smuggling when Libsoup is used in a service behind a reverse proxy that forwards null bytes without stripping them.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-11-11 20:01:57 UTC
GNOME libsoup before 3.6.0 allows HTTP request smuggling in some configurations because '\0' characters at the end of header names are ignored, i.e., a "Transfer-Encoding\0: chunked" header is treated the same as a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header.

For the record and reference, this is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsoup/-/issues/377

Comment 3 Milan Crha 2024-11-12 11:28:33 UTC
Are there any libsoup servers out there? It can do servers, yes, but the majority of the usage is to do client side, to talk to the server, not to be a server.

I'd say I'm not aware of any libsoup server, but because I do not know many, I'm no reference here.
