CVE-2024-55627

Summary

CVE-2024-55627 is a newly discovered vulnerability affecting Suricata, an open-source network Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). Before version 7.0.8, Suricata was susceptible to a buffer overflow issue. A crafted TCP stream could cause a very large buffer to be initialized with memset, leading to an unsigned integer underflow. Consequently, the memory buffer would be filled with zeros beyond its intended capacity, resulting in a buffer overflow. This vulnerability has been rectified in Suricata 7.0.8.
