CVE-2025-32049: Libsoup: denial of service attack to websocket server
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.88% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 59.4% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: azl3 libsoup 3.4.4-11 on Azure Linux 3.0 3.4.4-12; cbl2 libsoup 3.0.4-10 on CBL Mariner 2.0 3.0.4-11; cbl2 libsoup 3.0.4-10 on CBL-Mariner 2.0 3.0.4-11.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to azl3 libsoup 3.4.4-11 on Azure Linux 3.0 3.4.4-12; cbl2 libsoup 3.0.4-10 on CBL Mariner 2.0 3.0.4-11; cbl2 libsoup 3.0.4-10 on CBL-Mariner 2.0 3.0.4-11 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A flaw was found in libsoup. The SoupWebsocketConnection may accept a large WebSocket message, which may cause libsoup to allocate memory and lead to a denial of service (DoS).
