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. Prior to version 7.0.7, a logic error during fragment reassembly can lead to failed
    reassembly for valid traffic. An attacker could craft packets to trigger this behavior.This issue has been
    addressed in 7.0.7. (CVE-2024-45796)

  - Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security
    Monitoring engine. Prior to version 7.0.7, rules using datasets with the non-functional / unimplemented
    "unset" option can trigger an assertion during traffic parsing, leading to denial of service. This issue
    is addressed in 7.0.7. As a workaround, use only trusted and well tested rulesets. (CVE-2024-45795)

  - LibHTP is a security-aware parser for the HTTP protocol and the related bits and pieces. Prior to version
    0.5.49, unbounded processing of HTTP request and response headers can lead to excessive CPU time and
    memory utilization, possibly leading to extreme slowdowns. This issue is addressed in 0.5.49.
    (CVE-2024-45797)

  - Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security
    Monitoring engine. Prior to version 7.0.7, missing initialization of the random seed for "thash" leads to
    datasets having predictable hash table behavior. This can lead to dataset file loading to use excessive
    time to load, as well as runtime performance issues during traffic handling. This issue has been addressed
    in 7.0.7. As a workaround, avoid loading datasets from untrusted sources. Avoid dataset rules that track
    traffic in rules. (CVE-2024-47187)

The version of OISF Suricata installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0.19 or 7.x prior to 7.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: 

  - Missing initialization of the random seed for thash leads to datasets having predictable hash table behavior. This     can lead to dataset file loading to use excessive time to load, as well as runtime performance issues during traffic     handling. (CVE-2024-47187)     
  - A logic error during fragment reassembly can lead to failed reassembly for valid traffic. An attacker     could craft packets to trigger this behavior. (CVE-2024-45796)     
  - Rules using datasets with the non-functional / unimplemented unset option can trigger an     assertion during traffic parsing, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2024-45795)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7814-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibHTP did not correctly handle certain HTTP headers. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu     18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-23837)

    It was discovered that LibHTP did not correctly parse certain HTTP requests. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu     22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-28871)

    It was discovered that LibHTP did not correctly parse certain HTTP requests. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-45797)

    It was discovered that LibHTP did not correctly handle certain memory operations. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu     22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 25.04. (CVE-2025-53537)

    Package        : libhtp     Version        : 1:0.5.36-1+deb11u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-23837 CVE-2024-45797

    Multiple cases of denial of service due to excessive CPU time and memory     utilization have been fixed in LibHTP, a parser for the HTTP protocol     mainly used by the network analysis and threat detection software Suricata.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1:0.5.36-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libhtp packages.

    For the detailed security status of libhtp please refer to     its security tracker page at:
