DescriptionCVE.org

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Starting in version 8.0.0 and prior to version 8.0.5, a Lua rule that registers too many flow variables can corrupt Lua detection state and may bypass Suricata's restricted Lua sandbox. This requires an affected Lua script/rule to be loaded. Excessive flow variables being registered may also cause Suricata to crash. Version 8.0.5 contains a fix. As a workaround, disable security.lua.allow-rules unless Lua rules are required.

AnalysisAI

Lua sandbox bypass in Suricata 8.0.0-8.0.4 allows a crafted Lua detection rule that registers an excessive number of flow variables to corrupt Suricata's internal Lua detection state and escape the restricted Lua execution sandbox. Deployments with security.lua.allow-rules enabled face both integrity loss - attacker-controlled Lua rules can subvert detection logic - and availability risk, as the same corruption pathway can crash the Suricata process entirely. …
