CVE-2026-45759

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Suricata prior to versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5, Suricata could repeatedly perform expensive parsing of large HTTP Content-Disposition headers during HTTP response body processing. Crafted HTTP traffic could cause excessive CPU usage and denial of service.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker could cause CPU exhaustion and stop Suricata from functioning, disrupting network security monitoring and intrusion detection.

Recommendation

Update Suricata to version 7.0.16 or 8.0.5. If updating is not possible, use a rule to detect large Content-Disposition headers in HTTP requests.

Original NVD description (English source)

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5, Suricata could repeatedly perform expensive parsing of large HTTP `Content-Disposition` headers during HTTP response body processing. Crafted HTTP traffic could cause excessive CPU usage and denial of service. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 contain a fix. As a workaround, use a rule like `alert http1 any any -> any any (sid: 1; http.request_header; content: "Content-Disposition:"; startswith; bsize: > 8192; bypass;)`.
