Code execution via freed HTTP/2 upload state
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026
Heap use-after-free in libsoup3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory during HTTP/2 uploads. The on_data_read() callback continues using heap-backed upload state after a GOAWAY frame frees it during an asynchronous body read. A malicious HTTP/2 server or man-in-the-middle attacker must induce a GNOME application to upload a file; exploitation can disclose memory, crash the application, or execute code.
