Suricata before 3.2.1 has an IPv4 defragmentation evasion issue caused by lack of a check for the IP protocol during fragment matching.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Suricata before 3.2.1 has an IPv4 defragmentation evasion issue caused by lack of a check for the IP     protocol during fragment matching. (CVE-2017-7177)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Several issues were found in suricata, an intrusion detection and prevention tool.

CVE-2017-7177

Suricata has an IPv4 defragmentation evasion issue caused by lack of a check for the IP protocol during fragment matching.

CVE-2017-15377

It was possible to trigger lots of redundant checks on the content of crafted network traffic with a certain signature, because of DetectEngineContentInspection in detect-engine-content-inspection.c.
The search engine doesn't stop when it should after no match is found;
instead, it stops only upon reaching inspection-recursion- limit (3000 by default).

CVE-2018-6794

Suricata is prone to an HTTP detection bypass vulnerability in detect.c and stream-tcp.c. If a malicious server breaks a normal TCP flow and sends data before the 3-way handshake is complete, then the data sent by the malicious server will be accepted by web clients such as a web browser or Linux CLI utilities, but ignored by Suricata IDS signatures. This mostly affects IDS signatures for the HTTP protocol and TCP stream content; signatures for TCP packets will inspect such network traffic as usual.

TEMP-0856648-2BC2C9 (no CVE assigned yet)

Out of bounds read in app-layer-dns-common.c. On a zero size A or AAAA record, 4 or 16 bytes would still be read.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.7-2+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your suricata packages.

It was discovered that there was a vulnerability in suricata, an intrusion detection tool; the IP protocol was not being used to match fragments with their packets allowing a carefully constructed packet (with a different protocol) to be matched, thus creating a packet that would not be re-assembled by the destination host.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in suricata version 1.2.1-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your suricata packages.
