DescriptionCVE.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, a malicious rule could potentially overwrite any file on the file system on rule load or reload. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 fix the issue. Some workarounds are available. Preprocess load+ save rules to disallow absolute filenames for save, use Suricata's privilege dropping to limit writable files, and/or configure landlock in suricata.yaml.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file overwrite in Suricata IDS/IPS/NSM engine prior to versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 allows an attacker who controls rule content to write to any path on the host filesystem during rule load or reload. The flaw (CWE-22 path traversal) is triggered by a crafted rule using an absolute path in the save directive, bypassing expected sandbox boundaries of the rule engine. …
