CVE-2026-12549Libsoup: incomplete fix for cve-2026-2443: range suffix overflow in libsoup soupserver
Medium 4.8
In plain English
A medium-severity security flaw in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 from Red Hat. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 30% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
The fix for CVE-2026-2443 was regressed by a subsequent rework commit that replaced specific overflow checks with a general signed comparison. When a client sends a Range request with a suffix length exceeding the content size, the resulting negative start value is not properly clamped, leading to malformed HTTP 206 responses and log flooding.
