libsoup3 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 25.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in libsoup.

Software Description:
- libsoup3: HTTP client/server library for GNOME

Details:

It was discovered that libsoup did not correctly handle certain
URL-decoded input, which could allow for HTTP header injection. A remote
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-1467, CVE-2026-1536)

It was discovered that libsoup did not correctly handle removal of the
Proxy-Authorization header. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to leak sensitive information. (CVE-2026-1539)
