CVE-2026-2369: Libsoup: libsoup: buffer overread due to integer underflow when handling zero-length resources

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 36/100)

  • 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: 0.42% (FIRST EPSS).
  • 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 3.4.4-12 on Azure Linux 3.0 3.4.4-14; azl3 libsoup 3.4.4-14 on Azure Linux 3.0 3.4.4-14; cbl2 libsoup 3.0.4-13 on CBL Mariner 2.0 3.0.4-14.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 6.5, NVD 9.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to azl3 libsoup 3.4.4-12 on Azure Linux 3.0 3.4.4-14; azl3 libsoup 3.4.4-14 on Azure Linux 3.0 3.4.4-14; cbl2 libsoup 3.0.4-13 on CBL Mariner 2.0 3.0.4-14 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. An integer underflow vulnerability occurs when processing content with a zero-length resource, leading to a buffer overread. This can allow an attacker to potentially access sensitive information or cause an application level denial of service.
