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's HTTP/2 decompression path could grow the decompressed response-body buffer without an effective upper bound. A crafted HTTP/2 DATA payload using a high compression ratio, such as gzip, deflate, or brotli compressed data, could cause Suricata to allocate excessive memory while decompressing the payload. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 contain a fix. As a workaround, disable HTTP2.
AnalysisAI
Memory exhaustion via decompression bomb in Suricata prior to 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash or degrade the IDS/IPS engine by transmitting crafted HTTP/2 DATA frames with extreme compression ratios. The HTTP/2 response-body decompression path (supporting gzip, deflate, and brotli) lacked an effective upper bound on allocated buffer size, enabling a data-amplification (zip-bomb) attack against monitored network segments. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Suricata must be actively inspecting HTTP/2 traffic, which requires that HTTP/2 application-layer parsing and decompression be enabled - this is the default configuration in current Suricata versions. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H scores 7.5, which accurately characterizes the risk profile: fully remote, unauthenticated, zero-click, and trivially repeatable with no special conditions beyond routing traffic through a Suricata sensor. … 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 patches are available: upgrade Suricata to version 7.0.16 (7.x branch) or 8.0.5 (8.x branch), as confirmed by the OISF security advisory GHSA-45p7-j5wm-8wrx and the forum release 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. |
