CVSS 3.1
6.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:LCVE-2024-52531
Medium (6.5) in gnome libsoup. EPSS 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
GNOME libsoup before 3.6.1 allows a buffer overflow in applications that perform conversion to UTF-8 in soup_header_parse_param_list_strict. There is a plausible way to reach this remotely via soup_message_headers_get_content_type (e.g., an application may want to retrieve the content type of a request or response).
