Client crash via missing Digest nonce check
Published Apr 14, 2025 · Updated Jun 30, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in SoupAuthDigest in GNOME libsoup before 3.6.5 allows remote attackers to crash a client via an HTTP response. The Digest challenge parser accepts a 401 response without a nonce and later dereferences that missing value in soup-auth-digest.c. Exploitation requires a client request to an attacker-controlled HTTP server and affects availability only by terminating the client process.
