How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:9 libsoup-devel to version 0:2.72.0-16.el9_8.8 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2026:83384.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsoup-devel package and not the libsoup-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in libsoup. When reassembling fragmented WebSocket messages into a GByteArray, libsoup did not adequately cap total message size against the limits of the underlying buffer type. A remote peer could send fragments that caused size truncation while the implementation still used the full length, leading to heap corruption or a crash.
