  - A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in the libsoup HTTP client library. This flaw can be
    triggered when a libsoup client receives a 401 (Unauthorized) HTTP response containing a specifically
    crafted domain parameter within the WWW-Authenticate header. Processing this malformed header can lead to
    a crash of the client application using libsoup. An attacker could exploit this by setting up a malicious
    HTTP server. If a user's application using the vulnerable libsoup library connects to this malicious
    server, it could result in a denial-of-service. Successful exploitation requires tricking a user's client
    application into connecting to the attacker's malicious server. (CVE-2025-4476)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
