Description Srikanth Balasubramanian 2026-09-29 16:36:53 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 heap buffer overflow was found in libsoup's client-side WebSocket frame construction / masking path.

Outgoing frames are built in a GByteArray. For a send payload larger than the array can represent (at/above ~2^31), g_byte_array_sized_new() / append truncated the length while xor_with_mask() still iterated the full attacker-/caller-controlled length, writing past the small allocation during masking.

Fixed by rejecting outgoing payloads above MAX_OUTGOING_PAYLOAD_SIZE both before and after extensions process the payload (commit d7f074f8, libsoup 3.7.3).

Comment 1 Adrian Vovk 2026-10-27 00:53:58 UTC
rawhide and f45 will be fixed by upgrading to 3.8 w/ mclazy

f44 and f43 will need a backport of the commit
