Summary

Suricata is a network IDS, IPS, and network security monitoring engine. Prior to versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5, Suricata's HTTP/2 decompression path could grow the decompressed response-body buffer without an effective upper bound. A crafted HTTP/2 DATA payload using a high compression ratio (e.g., gzip, deflate, brotli) could cause excessive memory allocation during decompression.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could send crafted HTTP/2 traffic, causing memory exhaustion and a Suricata crash, leading to denial of service and loss of network visibility.

Recommendation

Update Suricata to version 7.0.16 or 8.0.5. If updating is not possible, disable HTTP/2 as a workaround.

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 HTTP/2 decompression path could grow the decompressed response-body buffer without an effective upper bound. A crafted HTTP/2 DATA payload using a high compression ratio, such as gzip, deflate, or brotli compressed data, could cause Suricata to allocate excessive memory while decompressing the payload. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 contain a fix. As a workaround, disable HTTP2.
