Fedora has released an update for cpp-httplib, addressing multiple critical vulnerabilities. The update includes fixes for CVE-2026-46527, CVE-2026-45372, and CVE-2026-45352, which involve denial of service and arbitrary code execution through improper HTTP header processing. The vulnerabilities affect Fedora 43 and 44, with potential exploitation leading to significant disruptions. The IP-host certificate identity fix ensures that IP-literal hosts are authenticated correctly, enhancing security against previous fallback mechanisms.
