Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper error handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20068)
CWE-ID: CWE-388 - Error Handling
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper error handling when parsing remote procedure call (RPC) data. A remote attacker can send specially crafted RPC packets through an established connection to be parsed by Snort 3 and perform a denial of service attack.
2) Improper error handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20067)
CWE-ID: CWE-388 - Error Handling
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper error handling when parsing the Multicast DNS fields of the HTTP header. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP packets through an established connection to be parsed by Snort 3 and perform a denial of service attack.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20066)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the JSTokenizer normalization logic when the HTTP inspection normalizes JavaScript. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP packets through an established connection that is parsed by Snort 3 and perform a denial of service attack.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20005)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient parsing of the SSL handshake ingress packets by the Snort 3 Detection Engine. A remote attacker can send specially crafted SSL handshake packets to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
