CVE-2018-6794 -- suricataID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:2000973 | Date: (C)2019-04-22 (M)2023-04-19 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
Suricata before 4.0.4 is prone to an HTTP detection bypass vulnerability in detect.c and stream-tcp.c. If a malicious server breaks a normal TCP flow and sends data before the 3-way handshake is complete, then the data sent by the malicious server will be accepted by web clients such as a web browser or Linux CLI utilities, but ignored by Suricata IDS signatures. This mostly affects IDS signatures for the HTTP protocol and TCP stream content; signatures for TCP packets will inspect such network traffic as usual.
