Summary
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: Denial of Service attack to websocket server (CVE-2025-32049)
* libsoup: Denial of service in server when client requests a large amount of overlapping ranges with Range header (CVE-2025-32907)
* libsoup: Cookie domain validation bypass via uppercase characters in libsoup (CVE-2025-4035)
* libsoup: Integer Underflow in soup_multipart_new_from_message() Leading to Denial of Service in libsoup (CVE-2025-4948)

Libsoup: denial of service attack to websocket server
A flaw was found in libsoup. The SoupWebsocketConnection may accept a large WebSocket message, which may cause libsoup to allocate memory and lead to a denial of service (DoS).

Libsoup: integer underflow in soup_multipart_new_from_message() leading to denial of service in libsoup
A flaw was found in the soup_multipart_new_from_message() function of the libsoup HTTP library, which is commonly used by GNOME and other applications to handle web communications. The issue occurs when the library processes specially crafted multipart messag…

Libsoup: denial of service in server when client requests a large amount of overlapping ranges with range header
A flaw was found in libsoup. The implementation of HTTP range requests is vulnerable to a resource consumption attack. This flaw allows a malicious client to request the same range many times in a single HTTP request, causing the server to use large amounts o…

Libsoup: cookie domain validation bypass via uppercase characters in libsoup
A flaw was found in libsoup. When handling cookies, libsoup clients mistakenly allow cookies to be set for public suffix domains if the domain contains at least two components and includes an uppercase character. This bypasses public suffix protections and co…
