CVE-2026-57224— Suricata dhcp: unbounded transactions in unidirectional traffic can lead to resource exhaustion

Quick assessment

Affected
OISF suricata
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Suricata 是一款网络入侵检测系统（IDS）、入侵防御系统（IPS）及网络安全监控引擎。从版本 8.0.0 到 8.0.6，位于 rust/src/dhcp/dhcp.rs 中的 DHCP 解析器在创建无状态事务时，未通过 记录数据包的方向。因此，若传感器仅监控单一方向，便无法将未观察到的方向标记为已检查，也无法释放已完成的事务。同样，位于 rust/src/rdp/rdp.rs 中的 RDP 解析器也存在相同的方向状态缺陷。这会导致按流维护的事务列表无限增长，且清理过程需反复扫描该列表，进而导致 CPU 和

Vulnerability Title
Suricata dhcp: unbounded transactions in unidirectional traffic can lead to resource exhaustion
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. From 8.0.0 until 8.0.6, the DHCP parser in rust/src/dhcp/dhcp.rs creates stateless transactions without recording their packet direction with AppLayerTxData::for_direction(), so a sensor that observes only one direction cannot mark the unseen direction inspected or free completed transactions. The RDP parser in rust/src/rdp/rdp.rs has the same direction-state defect. The per-flow transaction list can grow without bound and cleanup repeatedly scans it, causing increasing CPU and memory consumption and eventual denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 8.0.6.
