CVE-2026-55613
Published:October 30, 2026
Updated:November 04, 2026
uhttpd is a small HTTP server. In unpatched repository snapshots, "uh_ubus_data_send()" in "ubus.c" can desynchronize HTTP request boundaries when a "POST /ubus" JSON body arrives in multiple TCP segments. An initial segment completing a JSON object sets "du->jsobj"; a later segment takes the existing-object parse-error path and returns zero bytes consumed. The caller neither drains the remaining declared "Content-Length" nor sets "connection_close". An HTTP request embedded in the unread body suffix is consequently processed as a new request on the same keep-alive connection. The reported reproducer returned a JSON-RPC parse error followed by a second HTTP response. This application-layer body-handler flaw is distinct from Transfer-Encoding header case handling and chunk-length state reset, and affects deployments enabling ubus, including the default OpenWrt configuration and potential proxy/CDN deployments. Repository patches 7b1bec45826bd78c8afc993435bdc0f1df2fe399 and b2285de129b9adc8b12f84f9a27c16c21f2b57a5 address this issue.
