"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1792599160 advisory.
- A flaw was found in libsoup. The soup_uri_decode_data_uri() function incorrectly treated base64 data-URI
payloads as NUL-terminated strings when calling g_base64_decode_inplace(). If the percent-decoded payload
contained embedded NUL bytes, the decoded length could remain uninitialized and be used as the size of the
returned GBytes. This can lead to an out-of-bounds read or application crash when processing a crafted
data URI. (CVE-2026-102555)
- A flaw was found in libsoup. When handling an incoming WebSocket Pong frame, SoupWebsocketConnection
emitted the ::pong signal with a GByteArray pointer even though the signal is declared to pass a GBytes.
Applications connecting a handler that follows the documented GBytes API can trigger heap corruption or a
crash upon receiving a crafted Pong. (CVE-2026-102556)
- A flaw was found in libsoup. When reassembling fragmented WebSocket messages into a GByteArray, libsoup
did not adequately cap total message size against the limits of the underlying buffer type. A remote peer
could send fragments that caused size truncation while the implementation still used the full length,
leading to heap corruption or a crash. (CVE-2026-102557)
- A flaw was found in libsoup. When max-incoming-payload-size is unlimited (0), SoupWebsocketConnection
could grow its incoming GByteArray based on an attacker-controlled frame length until the length wrapped,
causing a heap buffer overflow while reading frame data. (CVE-2026-102558)
- A flaw was found in libsoup. When constructing a masked WebSocket client frame for a very large outgoing
payload, size values passed to GByteArray allocation APIs could be truncated while the masking routine
still used the full length, causing a heap buffer overflow. (CVE-2026-102559)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
