Alpine: multiple suricata packages: security update to 7.0.6-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427099

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security
Monitoring engine. Mishandling of multiple fragmented packets using the same IP ID value can lead to
packet reassembly failure, which can lead to policy bypass. Upgrade to 7.0.6 or 6.0.20. When using af-
packet, enable `defrag` to reduce the scope of the problem. (CVE-2024-37151)

- Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security
Monitoring engine. Prior to 7.0.5 and 6.0.19, a small amount of HTTP/2 traffic can lead to Suricata using
a large amount of memory. The issue has been addressed in Suricata 7.0.5 and 6.0.19. Workarounds include
disabling the HTTP/2 parser and reducing `app-layer.protocols.http2.max-table-size` value (default is
65536). (CVE-2024-32663)

- Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security
Monitoring engine. Prior to 7.0.5 and 6.0.19, specially crafted traffic or datasets can cause a limited
buffer overflow. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.5 and 6.0.19. Workarounds include not use rules with
`base64_decode` keyword with `bytes` option with value 1, 2 or 5 and for 7.0.x, setting `app-
layer.protocols.smtp.mime.body-md5` to false. (CVE-2024-32664)

- Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security
Monitoring engine. Prior to 7.0.5 and 6.0.19, various problems in handling of fragmentation anomalies can
lead to mis-detection of rules and policy. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.5 or 6.0.19.
