"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-997 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the soup_multipart_new_from_message() function of the libsoup HTTP library, which is
    commonly used by GNOME and other applications to handle web communications. The issue occurs when the
    library processes specially crafted multipart messages. Due to improper validation, an internal
    calculation can go wrong, leading to an integer underflow. This can cause the program to access invalid
    memory and crash. As a result, any application or server using libsoup could be forced to exit
    unexpectedly, creating a denial-of-service (DoS) risk. (CVE-2025-4948)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
