AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H
AC:H because triggering the truncation requires a ~4 GiB outgoing payload the attacker rarely controls; heap overflow gives memory-corruption I:H/A:H with limited C:L.

4DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw was found in libsoup. When constructing a masked WebSocket client frame for a very large outgoing payload, size values passed to GByteArray allocation APIs could be truncated while the masking routine still used the full length, causing a heap buffer overflow.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Heap memory corruption in libsoup can be triggered when a WebSocket client using libsoup constructs a masked outgoing frame for an extremely large payload near the 32-bit guint limit, truncating the GByteArray allocation size while the masking routine processes the full length. It affects libsoup as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires a libsoup-based WebSocket CLIENT to construct and send a MASKED outgoing frame whose payload is large enough (~4 GiB, near the 32-bit guint limit) to truncate the size passed to GByteArray allocation APIs while the masking routine still processes the full length. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals conflict between the raw CVSS score and realistic exploitability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; consult the Red Hat CVE page at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-102559 and Bugzilla 2543285 at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2543285 for updated libsoup errata for RHEL 6 through 10, and apply vendor updates when they are released. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all RHEL 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 systems running libsoup and identify any externally reachable WebSocket clients or services; apply firewall rules or network segmentation to restrict untrusted access to those endpoints and monitor for crashes or unusual memory consumption. …
