CVE-2026-12549
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L
Summary
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.

Weaknesses
- CWE-805: Buffer Access with Incorrect Length Value
Workarounds
To mitigate this issue, applications utilizing libsoup's WebSocket support should ensure that the max_incoming_payload_size is explicitly set to a non-zero value. This prevents the library from processing WebSocket frames with an unset or zero maximum payload size, which can lead to out-of-bounds reads. Consult application-specific documentation for configuring libsoup parameters.
