Amazon Linux 2023 : libsoup, libsoup-devel (ALAS2023-2024-772)
high Nessus Plugin ID 212340
Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.Description
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-772 advisory.GNOME libsoup before 3.6.0 allows HTTP request smuggling in some configurations because '\0' characters at the end of header names are ignored, i.e., a Transfer-Encoding\0: chunked header is treated the same as a Transfer-Encoding: chunked header. (CVE-2024-52530)
GNOME libsoup before 3.6.1 allows a buffer overflow in applications that perform conversion to UTF-8 in soup_header_parse_param_list_strict. Input received over the network cannot trigger this. (CVE-2024-52531)
GNOME libsoup before 3.6.1 has an infinite loop, and memory consumption. during the reading of certain patterns of WebSocket data from clients. (CVE-2024-52532)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Run 'dnf update libsoup --releasever 2023.6.20241209' to update your system.See Also
