Summary

Suricata prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0.6 has a vulnerability in HTTP SWF decompression when the non-default swf-decompression feature and an unsafe decompress-depth are used. The allocation can use the configured depth instead of limiting to the Flash file's actual data requirement, leading to an integer-related heap buffer overflow and crash of Suricata.

Risk Assessment

A crafted SWF response can crash Suricata, leading to gaps in network traffic monitoring if the feature is enabled.

Recommendation

Update Suricata to version 8.0.6 or 7.0.17, which include the fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0.6, HTTP SWF decompression with the non-default swf-decompression feature and an unsafe decompress-depth can use the configured depth when allocating in src/util-file-decompression.c instead of limiting the allocation to the Flash file's actual data requirement. A crafted SWF response can therefore trigger an integer-related heap buffer overflow and crash Suricata; the default disabled feature and default depth are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.6 and 7.0.17.
