Suricata < 6.0.17 / 7.x < 7.0.4 DoS

high Nessus Plugin ID 193274

Language:

Synopsis

An IDS/IPS solution running on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of OISF Suricata installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0.17 or 7.x prior to 7.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. When parsing an overly long SSH banner, Suricata can use excessive CPU resources, as well as cause excessive logging volume in alert records.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade Suricata to 6.0.17, 7.0.4 or higher.
