Red Hat alert RHSA-2026:17482-01 (libsoup3)

An update for libsoup3 is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0
Extended Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of
Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C. It was originally part of a
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation called Soup, but the SOAP
and non-SOAP parts have now been split into separate packages.  libsoup uses
the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK applications. This
enables GNOME applications to access HTTP servers on the network in a
completely asynchronous fashion, very similar to the Gtk+ programming model
(a synchronous operation mode is also supported for those who want it), but
the SOAP parts were removed long ago.

Security Fix(es):

* libsoup: libsoup: Denial of Service via Use-After-Free in HTTP/2 server
(CVE-2026-4271)

* libsoup: libsoup: Information disclosure via cleartext transmission of
cookies during HTTPS tunnel establishment (CVE-2026-5119)

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.
