NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream suricata package and not the suricata package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ProcessMimeEntity function in util-decode-mime.c in Suricata 4.x before 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segfault and daemon crash) via crafted input to the SMTP parser, as exploited in the wild in November 2018.
