Summary

In Suricata prior to 8.0.6, the FTP parser in src/app-layer-ftp.c treats a RETR or STOR command sent before PORT or PASV negotiation as a fatal application-layer error instead of a recoverable protocol event. The fatal state disables FTP parsing for the remainder of the TCP flow, allowing later commands to evade parser-dependent rules and logging; IPS mode instead drops the flow.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can evade parser-dependent rules and FTP logging, potentially leading to undetected network activity.

Recommendation

Upgrade Suricata to version 8.0.6 or later, which treats such commands as recoverable events.

Original NVD description (English source)

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to 8.0.6, the FTP parser in src/app-layer-ftp.c treats a RETR or STOR command sent before PORT or PASV negotiation as a fatal application-layer error instead of a recoverable protocol event. The fatal state disables FTP application-layer parsing for the remainder of the TCP flow, so later commands can evade parser-dependent rules and logging; IPS mode instead drops the flow. This issue is fixed in version 8.0.6.
