CVE-2026-2436
6.5
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H
Summary
A flaw was found in libsoup's SoupServer. A remote attacker could exploit a use-after-free vulnerability where the soup_server_disconnect() function frees connection objects prematurely, even if a TLS handshake is still pending. If the handshake completes after the connection object has been freed, a dangling pointer is accessed, leading to a server crash and a Denial of Service.
