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 [HIGH] libsoup vulnerabilities
Title: libsoup vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in libsoup.
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. (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)
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

libsoup: HTTP request smuggling via stripping null bytes from the ends of header names

CVE-2024-52530 [HIGH] CWE-444 libsoup: HTTP request smuggling via stripping null bytes from the ends of header names
libsoup: HTTP request smuggling via stripping null bytes from the ends of header names
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.
A flaw was found in the Libsoup library. When Libsoup parses HTTP headers, it ignores null bytes at the end of header names. Thus, `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` is equivalent to `Transfer-Encoding\x00: chunked`. This issue allows request smuggling when Libsoup is used in a service behind a reverse proxy that forwards null bytes without stripping them.

Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux
kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use-
after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could possibly
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-47233)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
