Description
A flaw was found in SoupServer (libsoup). When an HTTP/1.x client sends a request with Expect: 100-continue and a request body, and SoupServer returns an early final (non-1xx) response before the body is read, the server neither drains the declared body bytes nor closes the connection. On a keep-alive connection, those leftover bytes are interpreted as a subsequent HTTP request. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can place a complete HTTP request in the body and cause SoupServer to process that smuggled request, leading to unintended request handling.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

To mitigate this do not expose SoupServer to untrusted networks; prefer terminating proxies or internal-only listeners. If SoupServer must sit behind a reverse proxy, disable backend connection reuse/pooling across clients so an undrained body cannot prepend to another client's request.
