CVE-2026-45768

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. From version 8.0.0 to 8.0.5, LDAP transaction state could store an unbounded number of responses. Because LDAP can be processed over UDP, crafted traffic may cause Suricata to consume excessive memory.

Risk Assessment

Excessive memory consumption may result in denial of service (DoS) and interruption of network monitoring. This could weaken threat protection.

Recommendation

Update Suricata to version 8.0.5, which contains the fix. As a workaround, disable LDAP application-layer parsing where not required, or use a rule that limits the number of LDAP responses.

Original NVD description (English source)

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Starting in version 8.0.0 and prior to version 8.0.5, LDAP transaction state could store an unbounded number of responses. Because LDAP can be processed over UDP, crafted traffic may cause Suricata to consume excessive memory, potentially resulting in denial of service. Version 8.0.5 contains a fix. As a workaround, disable LDAP application-layer parsing where it is not required. Alternatively, use a rule like `alert ldap any any -> any any (sid: 1; ldap.responses.count: >1024; bypass;)`.
