CVE-2026-2708: Gnome Libsoup

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A request smuggling vulnerability exists in libsoup's HTTP/1 header parsing logic. The soup_message_headers_append_common() function in libsoup/soup-message-headers.c unconditionally appends each header value without validating for duplicate or conflicting Content-Length fields. This allows an attacker to send HTTP requests containing multiple Content-Length headers with differing values.

Affected products

• Gnome Libsoup: affected versions not specified
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux: version 6.0 only; version 7.0 only; version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only; version 10.0 only
