CVE-2026-63382

A flaw was found in libevent. The evhttp parser in libevent's http.c component inconsistently handles HTTP Transfer-Encoding headers and chunked framing. This inconsistency allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to desynchronize request boundaries when libevent is used behind a proxy. Successful exploitation could lead to request smuggling, potentially bypassing access controls or poisoning caches.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, OpenShift (RHCOS), RHIVOS, and community products (Fedora, Hummingbird) ship affected versions of libevent.
