Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Red Hat
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10

Description

CVE-2026-2708 is a low severity HTTP request smuggling vulnerability in the libsoup library used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. The issue occurs because the function soup_message_headers_append_common() appends HTTP header values without validating for duplicate or conflicting Content-Length headers. This allows an attacker to send HTTP requests with multiple Content-Length headers containing differing values. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 3.7 and may cause limited integrity issues without impacting confidentiality or availability. No explicit vendor advisory about patch availability or mitigation is provided, and no known exploits have been reported.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-2708 is a vulnerability in the libsoup library component of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, where the soup_message_headers_append_common() function improperly handles HTTP headers by appending them without checking for duplicate or conflicting Content-Length headers. This flaw enables an attacker to craft HTTP requests containing multiple Content-Length headers with differing values, leading to inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests, a condition known as HTTP request smuggling. The vulnerability is rated low severity with a CVSS score of 3.7, primarily affecting data integrity but not confidentiality or availability. There is no vendor advisory confirming patch availability or mitigation status at this time, and no known exploitation in the wild has been reported.

Potential Impact

The vulnerability may allow limited integrity issues due to inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests caused by multiple conflicting Content-Length headers. It does not impact confidentiality or availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.
