CVE-2025-11021

A flaw was found in the cookie date handling logic of the libsoup HTTP library, widely used by GNOME and other applications for web communication. When processing cookies with specially crafted expiration dates, the library may perform an out-of-bounds memory read. This flaw could result in unintended disclosure of memory contents, potentially exposing sensitive information from the process using libsoup.

The Red Hat Product Security team has rated this vulnerability as High, since it can be triggered remotely without authentication or user interaction. While AddressSanitizer builds demonstrated crashes, the practical production impact is more likely limited to memory disclosure through malformed cookie headers. The root cause is insufficient bounds checking in cookie date formatting logic.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don’t meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to a widespread installation base, or stability. It is strongly recommended to apply vendor-supplied patches once available.
