Description
A flaw was found in libsoup. When the permessage-deflate WebSocket extension compresses a very large outgoing message, truncated size calculations used for GByteArray growth could wrap, causing zlib to write past the allocated buffer and resulting in a heap buffer overflow.
Analysis and contextual insights are available on OpenCVE Cloud.
Remediation
Vendor Workaround
To mitigate this disable the permessage-deflate WebSocket extension if it is not required, and cap outgoing message sizes.
