Suricata · Suricata · CVE-2024-32664
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Suricata versions prior to 7.0.5
Suricata versions prior to 6.0.19
**Description**
The issue is related to a limited buffer overflow in Suricata, a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System, and Network Security Monitoring engine. Specially crafted traffic or datasets can cause this overflow. Exploitation of the issue may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. Workarounds include not using rules with the `base64 decode` keyword and the `bytes` option with values 1, 2, or 5, and for 7.0.x, setting `app-layer.protocols.smtp.mime.body-md5` to false.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 7.0.5, update to version 7.0.5 or later.
For versions prior to 6.0.19, update to version 6.0.19 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider not using rules with the `base64 decode` keyword and the `bytes` option with values 1, 2, or 5.
For 7.0.x, set `app-layer.protocols.smtp.mime.body-md5` to false as a temporary mitigation measure.
