There is no fixed version for Debian:unstable libsoup3.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsoup3 package and not the libsoup3 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The fix for CVE-2026-0716 (commit 6ff7ef0, libsoup 3.6.6) placed the integer overflow guard inside the if (masked) block, leaving unmasked server-to-client frames unprotected. A malicious WebSocket server can send a crafted unmasked frame with a payload length near UINT64_MAX to trigger an OOB read in a libsoup-based client when max_incoming_payload_size is set to 0.
