{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45767","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 malicious rule could potentially overwrite any file on the file system on rule load or reload. Versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5 fix the issue. Some workarounds are available. Preprocess `load`+ `save` rules to disallow absolute filenames for save, use Suricata's privilege dropping to limit writable files, and/or configure landlock in suricata.yaml.","modified":"2026-09-16T11:34:30Z","published":"2026-09-10T22:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-45767"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-45767"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-45767"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/OISF/suricata/security/advisories/GHSA-gfxq-gffp-w9rv"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/8548"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/8547"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/OISF/suricata/commit/477120e3409a2270e5d698c89e7dbd0a74f1f218"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/OISF/suricata/commit/654f5fa64ffbb9ce855f178b7f45cce8ce72ce68"},{"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/8546"}],"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-2026-45767.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_version":"3.2-2ubuntu3","binary_name":"libhtp-0.5.23-1"},{"binary_name":"suricata","binary_version":"3.2-2ubuntu3"},{"binary_name":"suricata-hyperscan","binary_version":"3.2-2ubuntu3"},{"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-2026-45767.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_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-2026-45767.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_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-2026-45767.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_name":"suricata","binary_version":"1:8.0.3-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45767.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
