Severity by source
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
Trigger requires loading a locally-supplied rule (AV:L, PR:L for rule/config control), no user interaction beyond the operator loading rules, and impact is a crash only (A:L, C:N/I:N).

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. From 8.0.0 until 8.0.6, a locally supplied detection rule that combines frame inspection without content and a transformed match without content can make src/detect-engine-prefilter.c select multiple non-prefilter frame engines while preparing signatures for non-prefilter inspection. Loading the crafted rule, including in test mode, can trigger a heap buffer overflow and crash Suricata; network traffic alone cannot reach the flaw. This issue is fixed in version 8.0.6.
AnalysisAI
Heap buffer overflow in Suricata 8.0.0 through 8.0.5 lets a user who can supply or modify a local detection rule crash the engine by loading a ruleset that pairs frame inspection without a content keyword with a transformed match that also lacks content. The flaw is reached during signature preparation in src/detect-engine-prefilter.c and fires even in config-test mode (suricata -T), so no live traffic is required, but it is strictly local, requires rule-loading privilege, and results only in a denial-of-service crash rather than code execution. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to control or supply a Suricata detection rule file that is then loaded by the engine - the crafted rule must combine frame inspection without a content keyword AND a transformed match without content. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite being a heap buffer overflow (CWE-122). … 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 8.0.6, which is published at https://github.com/OISF/suricata/releases/tag/suricata-8.0.6 and contains the SetupNonPrefilter() fix described in advisory GHSA-6qwq-j83r-qp34; deployments on the 7.x line are unaffected and do not need to move to the 8.x branch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
