mongoose: Mongoose is an embedded web server and network library
CVE-2026-73258 is fixed in mongoose on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-73258 (version 7.22+ds-1), released August 21, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Mongoose is an embedded web server and network library. Prior to 7.22, a remote attacker can place a lone carriage return or line feed in multipart input processed by mg_http_next_multipart() in src/http.c. The loops comparing s[b] and s[b + 1], and s[h2] and s[h2 + 1], use an incorrect AND condition and stop when either character resembles part of a CRLF terminator. This truncates headers, filenames, or boundaries and can cause an application to accept dangerous content after seeing a misleading Content-Type value. This issue is fixed in version 7.22.
