Suricata < 7.0.8 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 214272

Synopsis

An IDS/IPS solution running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of OISF Suricata installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0.19 or 7.x prior to 7.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A large input buffer to one of the following transforms can lead to a stack overflow causing Suricata to crash in the following transforms: to_lowercase, to_uppercase, strip_whitespace, compress_whitespace, dotprefix, header_lowercase, strip_pseudo_headers, url_decode, xor (CVE-2024-55605)
- A large BPF filter file provided to Suricata at startup can lead to a buffer overflow at Suricata startup. (CVE-2024-55626)
- A specially crafted TCP stream can lead to a very large buffer overflow while being zero-filled during initialization with memset due to an unsigned integer underflow. (CVE-2024-55627)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade Suricata to 7.0.8 or higher.
