Summary

A flaw was identified in the NTLM authentication handling of the libsoup HTTP library, used by GNOME and other applications for network communication. When processing extremely long passwords, an internal size calculation can overflow due to improper use of signed integers, resulting in incorrect memory allocation on the stack and unsafe memory copying. Applications using libsoup may crash unexpectedly, creating a denial-of-service risk.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves the possibility of remotely crashing applications using the libsoup library by sending a specially crafted long password during NTLM authentication. This can lead to disruption of network services in the GNOME environment and other applications.

Recommendation

Immediately update the libsoup library to a version containing the fix for this vulnerability. If an update is not available, consider temporarily disabling NTLM authentication support in applications using libsoup.
