CVE-2026-66337: Out-of-bounds Read in Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10
A flaw was found in libsoup. An unsigned integer underflow in the soup_filter_input_stream_read_until() function causes a heap buffer over-read when parsing multipart HTTP responses. A malicious HTTP server can exploit this by sending a crafted multipart response, potentially causing the client application to crash or disclose sensitive heap memory.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from an unsigned integer underflow in the libsoup library's soup_filter_input_stream_read_until() function. When parsing multipart HTTP responses, this flaw causes a heap buffer over-read, which can be triggered by a malicious HTTP server sending a specially crafted multipart response. The impact includes potential client application crashes or leakage of sensitive heap memory. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, but no specific affected versions or patch information is provided in the available data. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, indicating medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, limited confidentiality impact, no integrity impact, and low availability impact.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to client application crashes or disclosure of sensitive heap memory due to a heap buffer over-read. This could impact confidentiality and availability of the affected system. There is no indication of integrity impact. The vulnerability can be triggered remotely without authentication or user interaction.
