{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-22259","details":"Suricata is a network IDS, IPS and NSM engine. Prior to versions 8.0.3 and 7.0.14, specially crafted traffic can cause Suricata to consume large amounts of memory while parsing DNP3 traffic. This can lead to the process slowing down and running out of memory, potentially leading to it getting killed by the OOM killer. Versions 8.0.3 or 7.0.14 contain a patch. As a workaround, disable the DNP3 parser in the suricata yaml (disabled by default).","modified":"2026-01-30T21:15:07.728940Z","published":"2026-01-27T17:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-22259"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-22259"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-22259"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/OISF/suricata/security/advisories/GHSA-878h-2x6v-84q9"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/OISF/suricata/commit/50cac2e2465ca211eabfa156623e585e9037bb7e"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/OISF/suricata/commit/63225d5f8ef64cc65164c0bb1800730842d54942"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/8181"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"suricata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/suricata@3.0-1?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.0.8-1build1","2.0.9-1","2.0.10-1","2.0.10-2","2.0.11-1","3.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.0-1","binary_name":"suricata"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-22259.json"}},{"package":{"name":"suricata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/suricata@3.2-2ubuntu3?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.2-2ubuntu3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.2-2ubuntu3","binary_name":"libhtp-0.5.23-1"},{"binary_version":"3.2-2ubuntu3","binary_name":"suricata"},{"binary_version":"3.2-2ubuntu3","binary_name":"suricata-hyperscan"},{"binary_version":"3.2-2ubuntu3","binary_name":"suricata-oinkmaster"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-22259.json"}},{"package":{"name":"suricata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/suricata@1:6.0.4-3?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:6.0.4-2","1:6.0.4-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:6.0.4-3","binary_name":"suricata"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-22259.json"}},{"package":{"name":"suricata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/suricata@1:7.0.3-1build3?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:7.0.0-2","1:7.0.2-1","1:7.0.2-1build1","1:7.0.3-1build1","1:7.0.3-1build3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:7.0.3-1build3","binary_name":"suricata"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-22259.json"}},{"package":{"name":"suricata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/suricata@1:7.0.10-1?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:7.0.8-2","1:7.0.10-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:7.0.10-1","binary_name":"suricata"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-22259.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
