CVE-2026-45765

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Suricata prior to versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5, DNP3 reassembly could buffer data without sufficient parser-level bounds. Crafted DNP3 traffic may cause Suricata to consume excessive memory, potentially resulting in denial of service.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker could trigger memory exhaustion and cause Suricata to stop 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, disable DNP3 (which is not enabled by default) when it is not needed, and/or define a limited stream.reassembly.depth.

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, DNP3 reassembly could buffer data without sufficient parser-level bounds. Crafted DNP3 traffic may cause Suricata to consume excessive memory, potentially resulting in denial of service. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 contain a fix. As a workaround, disable DNP3 (which is not enabled by default) if it is not needed, and/or define a limited `stream.reassembly.depth` (0 or absent is unlimited).
