CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedSuricata versions prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0.6 are vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow due to improper handling of HTTP SWF decompression when using the non-default swf-decompression feature with an unsafe decompress depth. This flaw can lead to crashes of the Suricata engine when processing crafted SWF files. Organizations utilizing Suricata for network security monitoring should prioritize upgrading to the patched versions to mitigate potential disruptions.

Original NVD Description
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.
