AI-suggested

Configure a finite max-incoming-payload-size (do not set it to 0 or unlimited) on SoupWebsocketConnection to prevent the vulnerability. Additionally, restrict WebSocket exposure to trusted peers. These mitigations reduce the risk without requiring immediate patching. Check vendor advisories for any official fixes or updates.

Description

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in libsoup2.4's SoupWebsocketConnection when the max-incoming-payload-size is set to unlimited (0). This flaw allows an attacker to cause the GByteArray length to wrap due to an attacker-controlled frame length, leading to heap corruption or denial of service.
