CVE-2024-23836

Summary

CVE-2024-23836 is a vulnerability affecting Suricata, an open-source Network Intrusion Detection System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to versions 6.0.16 and 7.0.3, Suricata can be manipulated to consume disproportionate amounts of CPU and memory while processing network traffic. This can result in significant slowdowns or denial of service. The issue is resolved in versions 6.0.16 and 7.0.3, and a workaround involves disabling the affected protocol app-layer parser or reducing the `stream.reassembly.depth` value to mitigate the impact.
