{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45761","details":"Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5, a crafted rule using mixed-case frame syntax could trigger a heap buffer overflow while Suricata is loading signatures. The issue is reached during rule parsing/loading rather than by network traffic alone. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 contain a fix. As a workaround, preprocess rules to check that frames are all lowercase and/or only load trusted rulesets.","modified":"2026-09-16T11:34:30Z","published":"2026-09-10T21:17:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-45761"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-45761"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-45761"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/OISF/suricata/security/advisories/GHSA-r74x-74x5-r9vm"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/8528"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/8527"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/OISF/suricata/commit/df3336bf4f8e8034570b1608f87065391d79c022"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/OISF/suricata/commit/31d3977720990bb0efd20be08a6c2362287ea460"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://forum.suricata.io/t/suricata-8-0-5-and-7-0-16-released/6315"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/8526"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"suricata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/suricata?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_name":"suricata","binary_version":"3.0-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45761.json"}},{"package":{"name":"suricata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/suricata?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.2-2ubuntu3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libhtp-0.5.23-1","binary_version":"3.2-2ubuntu3"},{"binary_name":"suricata","binary_version":"3.2-2ubuntu3"},{"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-2026-45761.json"}},{"package":{"name":"suricata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/suricata?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_name":"suricata","binary_version":"1:6.0.4-3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45761.json"}},{"package":{"name":"suricata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/suricata?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_name":"suricata","binary_version":"1:7.0.3-1build3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45761.json"}},{"package":{"name":"suricata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/suricata?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:7.0.10-1","1:8.0.1-3build1","1:8.0.2-1","1:8.0.2-1build1","1:8.0.3-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:8.0.3-1","binary_name":"suricata"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45761.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
