critical Nessus Plugin ID 233809

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 41 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2025-5fa61dc843 advisory.

 This is an extra release to address a critical issue in 7.0.9 affecting AF_PACKET users: setting a BPF would cause Suricata to fail to start up. This has been fixed.

 ----

 Various security, performance, accuracy, and stability issues have been fixed. LibHTP has been updated to version 0.5.50 which is bundled with this new release. This fixes:

 CVE-2025-29915: HIGH CVE-2025-29917: HIGH CVE-2025-29918: HIGH CVE-2025-29916: Moderate

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected suricata package.
