Description

CVE-2025-4948 is an integer underflow vulnerability in the soup_multipart_new_from_message() function of the libsoup HTTP library. This flaw occurs when processing specially crafted multipart messages, causing an internal calculation to underflow. The resulting invalid memory access can crash the program, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition for applications or servers using libsoup.
