Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31934)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to inefficient algorithmic complexity in smtp/mime URL extraction when processing mime encoded messages over SMTP. A remote attacker can send crafted SMTP messages to cause a denial of service.

The issue results in a performance impact during URL searching.


2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31931)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a null pointer dereference in the tls.alpn rule keyword when processing traffic that matches rules using this keyword. A remote attacker can send crafted network traffic to cause a denial of service.


3) Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31933)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to inefficient algorithmic complexity in stream inspection when processing specially crafted traffic. A remote attacker can send specially crafted traffic to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects performance in IDS mode.


4) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31935)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to allocation of resources without limits or throttling in the http2 parser when processing crafted HTTP/2 continuation frames. A remote attacker can send a flood of crafted continuation frames to cause a denial of service.

The issue can lead to memory exhaustion, usually resulting in the Suricata process being shut down by the operating system.


5) Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31937)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to inefficient algorithmic complexity in dcerpc buffering when processing dcerpc traffic. A remote attacker can send crafted traffic to cause a denial of service.


6) Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31932)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to inefficient algorithmic complexity in the krb5 parser when processing krb5 buffering. A remote attacker can send crafted network traffic to cause a denial of service.
