Upgrade RHEL:8 libsoup to version 0:2.62.3-6.el8_10 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:9573.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsoup package and not the libsoup package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

GNOME libsoup before 3.6.0 allows HTTP request smuggling in some configurations because '\0' characters at the end of header names are ignored, i.e., a "Transfer-Encoding\0: chunked" header is treated the same as a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header.
