A flaw was found in libsoup. When handling an incoming WebSocket Pong frame, SoupWebsocketConnection emitted the ::pong signal with a GByteArray pointer even though the signal is declared to pass a GBytes. Applications connecting a handler that follows the documented GBytes API can trigger heap corruption or a crash upon receiving a crafted Pong.

libsoupに脆弱性が発見されました。受信したWebSocketのPongフレームを処理する際、SoupWebsocketConnectionは::pongシグナルをGBytesとして宣言しているにもかかわらず、GByteArrayポインタで発信していました。文書化されたGBytes APIに従うハンドラを接続しているアプリケーションは、細工されたPongを受信するとヒープ破損やクラッシュを引き起こす可能性があります。
