Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5, Suricata could repeatedly perform expensive parsing of large HTTP Content-Disposition headers during HTTP response body processing. Crafted HTTP traffic could cause excessive CPU usage and denial of service. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 contain a fix. As a workaround, use a rule like alert http1 any any -> any any (sid: 1; http.request_header; content: "Content-Disposition:"; startswith; bsize: > 8192; bypass;).
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Suricata IDS/IPS/NSM engine (versions prior to 7.0.16 and 8.0.5) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust CPU resources by sending HTTP responses containing crafted oversized Content-Disposition headers, causing the inspection engine to perform repeated expensive parsing iterations without bounds. The attack requires no privileges and exploits the security tooling itself - disabling Suricata's inspection capability - which can serve as a precursor to attacks that would otherwise be detected. …
