CVE-2026-45769

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

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, IKEv2 parser state could grow without bounds while storing client transforms. Repeated crafted UDP 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 detection at a critical moment.

Recommendation

Update Suricata to version 7.0.16 or 8.0.5, which fix the issue. As a workaround, disable IKE application-layer parsing if not needed, or use a rule that bypasses ike flows after the first packets.

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,IKEv2 parser state could grow without bounds while storing client transforms. Repeated crafted UDP traffic may cause Suricata to consume excessive memory, potentially resulting in denial of service. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 fix the issue. Some workarounds are available. Disable IKE application-layer parsing if it is not needed. Alternatively, use a rule to bypass ike flows after the first packets like `alert ike any any -> any any (sid: 2; flow.pkts_toserver: > 256; bypass; noalert;)`.
