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,IKEv2 parser state could grow without bounds while storing client transforms. Repeated crafted UDP traffic may cause Suricata to consume excessive memory, potentially resulting in denial of service. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 fix the issue. Some workarounds are available. Disable IKE application-layer parsing if it is not needed. Alternatively, use a rule to bypass ike flows after the first packets like alert ike any any -> any any (sid: 2; flow.pkts_toserver: > 256; bypass; noalert;).

AnalysisAI

Uncontrolled memory growth in Suricata's IKEv2 application-layer parser allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust system memory by sending repeated crafted UDP packets, potentially disabling the IDS/IPS/NSM engine entirely. All Suricata releases prior to 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 are affected; the parser accumulates client transform state without any upper bound, making it trivially exploitable from the network. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation IKE application-layer parsing must be enabled in Suricata's configuration (suricata.yaml); this is the default behavior in standard deployments, so no special non-default configuration is required on the victim side. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H scores 7.5 and accurately reflects the attack surface: the vulnerability is reachable over the network, requires no authentication, imposes no special conditions on the attacker, and produces a high-availability impact. … 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 Upgrade to Suricata 7.0.16 (7.x branch) or 8.0.5 (8.x branch) as documented in the OISF advisory GHSA-hg2g-r464-5593 and the release forum post 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 production Suricata deployments to identify affected versions and verify IKEv2 parsing is enabled (check suricata.yaml configuration). …
