Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling via the soup_message_headers_append_common function in libsoup/soup-message-headers.c unconditionally appends each header value without validating for duplicate or conflicting Content-Length fields. This allows an attacker to send HTTP requests containing multiple Content-Length headers with differing values.
