NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsoup3 package and not the libsoup3 package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in libsoup, a library for handling HTTP requests. This vulnerability, known as a Use-After-Free, occurs in the HTTP/2 server implementation. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted HTTP/2 requests that cause authentication failures. This can lead to the application attempting to access memory that has already been freed, potentially causing application instability or crashes, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
