Red Hat libsoup: request smuggling

Medium5.4CVE-2026-66338 · Published Jul 24, 2026 · updated Aug 24, 2026

A flaw was found in libsoup. The chunked transfer encoding parser uses a permissive parsing function for chunk sizes that silently accepts inputs violating RFC 9112, including leading whitespace, plus sign prefixes, and trailing invalid characters. When libsoup operates behind a strict frontend proxy, this parsing differential can be exploited to smuggle HTTP requests.
