CVE-2026-45762

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Suricata prior to versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5, the IP defragmentation tracker lookup did not verify that an existing tracker used the same IP address family as the packet being processed. Under crafted fragmented IPv4/IPv6 traffic, an IPv6 fragment could be associated with an IPv4 defragmentation tracker, leading to a remote packet-triggered crash and denial of service.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker could crash Suricata and interrupt network security monitoring, potentially allowing malicious traffic to go undetected in the protected network.

Recommendation

Update Suricata to version 7.0.16 or 8.0.5. If updating is not possible, when using Suricata as an IDS with AF_PACKET, enable AF_PACKET's defrag option to prevent Suricata from seeing such fragmented packets.

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's IP defragmentation tracker lookup did not verify that an existing tracker used the same IP address family as the packet being processed. Under crafted fragmented IPv4/IPv6 traffic, an IPv6 fragment could be associated with an IPv4 defragmentation tracker. This can lead to a remote packet-triggered crash and denial of service when Suricata performs the relevant defragmentation. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 contain a fix. As a workaround, if using Suricata as an IDS with AF_PACKET, enabling AF_PACKET's `defrag` option may prevent Suricata from seeing such fragmented packets.
