==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.10

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in libsoup3.

Software Description:
- libsoup3: GObject introspection data for the libsoup HTTP library

Details:

It was discovered that libsoup ignored certain characters at the end of
header names. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform
a HTTP request smuggling attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-52530)

It was discovered that libsoup did not correctly handle memory while
performing UTF-8 conversions. An attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-52531)

It was discovered that libsoup could enter an infinite loop when reading
certain websocket data. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-52532)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.10
   libsoup-3.0-0                   3.6.0-2ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
