Affected: AlmaLinux:8: libsoup, AlmaLinux:8: libsoup-devel

The libsoup packages provide an HTTP client and server library for GNOME.

Security Fix(es):

* libsoup: libsoup: Duplicate Host Header Handling Causes Host-Parsing Discrepancy (First- vs Last-Value Wins) (CVE-2025-14523)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

A flaw in libsoup’s HTTP header handling allows multiple Host: headers in a request and returns the last occurrence for server-side processing. Common front proxies often honor the first Host: header, so this mismatch can cause vhost confusion where a proxy routes a request to one backend but the backend interprets it as destined for another host. This discrepancy enables request-smuggling style attacks, cache poisoning, or bypassing host-based access controls when an attacker supplies duplicate Host headers.

libsoup is an HTTP client/server library for GNOME. It uses GObjects and the glib main loop, to integrate well with GNOME applications, and also has a synchronous API, for use in threaded applications. Security Fix(es):

A flaw was found in libsoup's NTLM (NT LAN Manager) authentication module. When NTLM authentication is enabled, a local attacker can exploit a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the md4sum() function. This allows the attacker to overwrite adjacent memory, which may result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the affected application.(CVE-2026-0719)
