"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2025:4609 advisory.

    The libsoup packages provide an HTTP client and server library for GNOME.

    Security Fix(es):

    * libsoup: Out of bounds reads in soup_headers_parse_request() (CVE-2025-32906)

    * libsoup: Double free on  soup_message_headers_get_content_disposition() through  soup-message-
    headers.c via params GHashTable value (CVE-2025-32911)

    * libsoup: NULL pointer dereference in  soup_message_headers_get_content_disposition when filename
    parameter  is present, but has no value in Content-Disposition header (CVE-2025-32913)

    * libsoup: Information disclosure may leads libsoup client sends Authorization header to a different host
    when being redirected by a server (CVE-2025-46421)

    * libsoup: Memory leak on soup_header_parse_quality_list() via soup-headers.c (CVE-2025-46420)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and
    other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
