Description Ganesh 2026-07-14 18:04:19 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

A flaw was found in libsoup's HTTP/2 protocol parsing logic where processing malformed network frames can trigger a heap buffer over-read condition.

Component / Vulnerable Part:

libsoup -> HTTP/2 connection processing backend (soup-client-message-io-http2.c or similar HTTP/2 state engine components handling GOAWAY frames).

Technical Analysis & Root Cause:

When an HTTP/2 session receives a GOAWAY frame, the frame can contain an optional "Additional Debug Data" payload field. The libsoup library erroneously treats this debug data block as a standard, safely NUL-terminated C-string without explicitly verifying the payload length boundaries provided by the framing layer. If a remote peer constructs a malicious GOAWAY frame containing a debug string that lacks a terminating \0 byte within the bounds of the frame allocation, internal string functions will read past the allocated heap space looking for the delimiter.

Impact:

A remote attacker acting as a malicious HTTP/2 endpoint can transmit a specially crafted GOAWAY frame to read out-of-bounds heap memory. This results in an immediate application crash (Denial of Service) or potential information disclosure of adjacent memory metadata.
