Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: libsoup (CVE-2024-52530)

high Nessus Plugin ID 215712

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of libsoup installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-52530 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)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
