Suricata < 7.0.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 214273

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:

- Missing initialization of the random seed for thash leads to datasets having predictable hash table behavior. This can lead to dataset file loading to use excessive time to load, as well as runtime performance issues during traffic handling. (CVE-2024-47187)
- A logic error during fragment reassembly can lead to failed reassembly for valid traffic. An attacker could craft packets to trigger this behavior. (CVE-2024-45796)
- Rules using datasets with the non-functional / unimplemented unset option can trigger an assertion during traffic parsing, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2024-45795)

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 7.0.7 or higher.
