libsoup security update

Type: advisorySources: OSV

libsoup is an HTTP client/server library for GNOME. It uses GObjects and the glib main loop, to integrate well with GNOME applications, and also has a synchronous API, for use in threaded applications. Security Fix(es): SoupAuthManager caches proxy authentication credentials without scoping them to the proxy authority (host:port). When the proxy configuration changes (e.g., via system settings or WPAD), cached Proxy-Authorization headers from the previous proxy are sent to the new proxy, leaking credentials.(CVE-2026-12547) A flaw was found in libsoup. An unsigned integer underflow in the soup_filter_input_stream_read_until() function causes a heap buffer over-read when parsing multipart HTTP responses. A malicious HTTP server can exploit this by sending a crafted multipart response, potentially causing the client application to crash or disclose sensitive heap memory.(CVE-2026-66337)
