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, DNP3 reassembly could buffer data without sufficient parser-level bounds. Crafted DNP3 traffic may cause Suricata to consume excessive memory, potentially resulting in denial of service. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 contain a fix. As a workaround, disable DNP3 (which is not enabled by default) if it is not needed, and/or define a limited stream.reassembly.depth (0 or absent is unlimited).
AnalysisAI
Uncontrolled memory consumption in Suricata's DNP3 reassembly engine allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to exhaust host memory by sending crafted DNP3 traffic, causing denial of service. Versions prior to 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 fail to enforce sufficient parser-level bounds during DNP3 stream reassembly, meaning unbounded buffering is possible. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | DNP3 protocol inspection must be explicitly enabled in Suricata's configuration - it is not active in default installations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) correctly captures the network-reachable, unauthenticated DoS impact, but treats AC as Low, which overstates accessibility. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Suricata 7.0.16 (stable branch) or 8.0.5 (current branch) as documented in the release announcement at https://forum.suricata.io/t/suricata-8-0-5-and-7-0-16-released/6315. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit Suricata instances to identify those with DNP3 parsing enabled, particularly in OT/ICS monitoring roles. …
