AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Attacker-observed network traffic triggers it (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N), but the one-directional/async-oneside visibility precondition raises complexity (AC:H); availability-only resource exhaustion on the sensor, no C/I impact (S:U).

2DescriptionCVE.org
Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0.6, the SMB parser can retain force-completed transactions on flows where Suricata sees payload in only one direction, including async-oneside flows, because cleanup waits for inspection in the unseen direction. The transaction creation paths in rust/src/smb can exceed the intended SMB_MAX_TX bound, and cleanup repeatedly scans the growing list. Sustained one-directional SMB traffic can therefore cause unbounded per-flow state and CPU and memory exhaustion. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.6 and 7.0.17.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in the Suricata SMB parser lets remote attackers exhaust sensor CPU and memory by driving sustained one-directional SMB traffic through an affected sensor. Suricata versions prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0.6 retain force-completed transactions on flows where payload is seen in only one direction (including async-oneside flows), because cleanup waits for inspection in the direction that never arrives; transaction creation paths can then exceed the intended SMB_MAX_TX bound while cleanup repeatedly rescans the growing list, producing unbounded per-flow state. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that a Suricata sensor (prior to 7.0.17 or 8.0.6) is inspecting SMB traffic AND sees payload in only one direction of the flow - e.g. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine but moderate-priority denial-of-service issue. … 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 7.0.17 or 8.0.6 - vendor-released patches issued as releases tagged suricata-7.0.17 and suricata-8.0.6 - and confirm the fixes are present by verifying the SMB transaction code returns Option instead of unwrapping the back of the transaction list; see advisory GHSA-hvvj-c8xx-9g35 and https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/8629 for the authoritative change set. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
