CVE-2017-15377
HIGH7.5EPSS 0.53%suricata - security update
Published: 10/23/2017Modified: 5/16/2026
Description
In Suricata before 4.x, it was possible to trigger lots of redundant checks on the content of crafted network traffic with a certain signature, because of DetectEngineContentInspection in detect-engine-content-inspection.c. The search engine doesn't stop when it should after no match is found; instead, it stops only upon reaching inspection-recursion-limit (3000 by default).
Affected packages (2)
- Debian/suricatafrom 0, < 1:4.0.0-1
- Debian/suricatafrom 0, < 2.0.7-2+deb8u3
