Published Nov 11, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
GNOME libsoup before 3.6.0 allows HTTP request smuggling in some configurations because '\0' characters at the end of header names are ignored, i.e., a "Transfer-Encoding\0: chunked" header is treated the same as a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header.
