Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-02-03 12:46:34 UTC
HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerability in the chunked transfer encoding parser of the libsoup HTTP library. The flaw is caused by non-RFC-compliant parsing in the soup_filter_input_stream_read_line() logic, where libsoup accepts lone LF (\n) characters and other malformed chunk headers instead of enforcing CRLF (\r\n) as required by RFC 9112. When a malicious HTTP client sends specially crafted chunked requests, libsoup may parse and process multiple HTTP requests from a single network message. Although exploitation is possible remotely without authentication or user interaction, the impact is limited because SoupServer is not commonly used in internet-facing infrastructure.
