Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libsoup3.

CVE-2026-12548[0]:
| A heap out-of-bounds read flaw was found in libsoup. When parsing
| multipart HTTP messages, an integer type mismatch between the caller
| and soup_headers_parse() can cause the length parameter to be
| incorrectly truncated, leading to a heap buffer over-read. A remote
| attacker could use this flaw to crash an application using libsoup
| or potentially disclose heap memory contents.
