Libsoup: off-by-one out-of-bounds read in find_boundary() in soup-multipart.c

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

  • 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: 0.90% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 59.6% 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 3.4.4-9 on Azure Linux 3.0 3.4.4-9; cbl2 libsoup 3.0.4-7 on CBL Mariner 2.0 3.0.4-9; cbl2 libsoup 3.0.4-9 on CBL Mariner 2.0 3.0.4-9.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to azl3 libsoup 3.4.4-9 on Azure Linux 3.0 3.4.4-9; cbl2 libsoup 3.0.4-7 on CBL Mariner 2.0 3.0.4-9; cbl2 libsoup 3.0.4-9 on CBL Mariner 2.0 3.0.4-9 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 vulnerability was found in the libsoup package. This flaw stems from its failure to correctly verify the termination of multipart HTTP messages. This can allow a remote attacker to send a specially crafted multipart HTTP body, causing the libsoup-consuming server to read beyond its allocated memory boundaries (out-of-bounds read).
