CVE-2026-57226— Suricata swf: heap buffer overflow in SWF decompression depth handling

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）以及网络安全监控引擎。在 7.0.17 之前和 8.0.6 之前，当启用非默认的 功能，并且配置了不安全的 （解压深度）时， 中在分配内存时会使用所配置的值，而不是将内存分配限制在 Flash 文件的实际数据需求范围内。因此，一个特制的 SWF 响应可能触发与整数相关的堆缓冲区溢出漏洞，导致 Suricata 崩溃。默认情况下该功能处于禁用状态，且默认深度值不受此漏洞影响。该问题已在 8.0.6 和 7.0.17 版本中修复。

Vulnerability Title
Suricata swf: heap buffer overflow in SWF decompression depth handling
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0.6, HTTP SWF decompression with the non-default swf-decompression feature and an unsafe decompress-depth can use the configured depth when allocating in src/util-file-decompression.c instead of limiting the allocation to the Flash file's actual data requirement. A crafted SWF response can therefore trigger an integer-related heap buffer overflow and crash Suricata; the default disabled feature and default depth are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.6 and 7.0.17.
